NVIDIA plan to support Linux with GeForce NOW using Chrome

Quoting: WildCoderWhy chrome only? I would much rather they let Firefox work instead of having to spoof my user-agent string.
one of 3 reasons.
1)the Q/A is hard and since chrome is the most used browser, and every other browser (except firefox) is based on chromium, they are starting by that.
2)firefox dont support their video encoding formats...
3)some money exchanging hands
There is also the issue of automated browser testing being Chrome-first. Firefox is usually an afterthought, and although it works well in older systems, like Selenium, some newer ones don't support it.
those tests are based on dom elements? because if they are, i dont think they will work with game streaming

Metro Exodus is still planned to release for Linux and macOS

Quoting: elmapul"Aside from these enhanced versions for Gen 9, we recently brought Metro Exodus to more players through Amazon’s ‘Luna’ streaming service; and we’re also working on dedicated Linux* and Mac versions of the game. "

Stadia runs linux, maybe it will be avaliable for stadia but not for desktop? but i doubt it, they would say stadia instead...
wich is strange, why not relase for both?

anyway, this gen 9 thing is an issue, what if we receive the current pc/ps4/xbox one version, while ps5 and xbox series receive an enhanced version?
It is already on Stadia since yonks ago, plus we have been seeing them upload files to their Steam repo.
oh, i'm blind, i dont know the full list of games since its not avaliable at my country
