If you've installed it through a package manager, then you can launch it directly from your desktop environment. You can also run geforcenow (or io.github.hmlendea.geforcenow-electron if you're using flatpak) in the terminal.

  • Super + F / F11: Toggles the fullscreen mode (Fullscreen is always forced ON while gaming)
  • ALT + F4 / F4: Exits app
  • ALT + Home: Switches back to the GeForce NOW Home page
  • CTRL + M: Toggles the microphone
  • CTRL + Shift + I: Toggles the developer tools

Command-line arguments

  • --spoof-windows: Uses a Windows UserAgent string

Changing the keyboard layout

Currently NVIDIA doesn't allow changing the keyboard layout on Linux.

In order to get access to that setting, use one of the UA-spoofing CLI arguments mentioned above.

Directly launching a game from the desktop

Launch a game manually as per usual through the GFN library.

Once the game is started, use the Control + Shift + P keyboard shortcut to create a desktop launcher for that game.

From now on, you can use that launcher to run that game directly, either straight from your desktop environment, or by adding it as a non-Steam game and launching it straight through Steam.
