# geforcenow-native

Install / uninstall scripts for the **official NVIDIA GeForce NOW Linux flatpak**
(`com.nvidia.geforcenow`) on Arch Linux + Hyprland (Omarchy-friendly).

This wraps the upstream NVIDIA flatpak — it does **not** use the community
electron build. The scripts force XWayland (Wayland-native is broken under
Hyprland at time of writing), drop a launcher in `~/.local/bin/geforcenow`,
register a `.desktop` entry that survives flatpak overrides, and inject a
Hyprland windowrule that opens the app fullscreen.

## Install

```bash
./install-geforcenow-native.sh
```

What it does:
1. Installs Flatpak + Flathub if missing.
2. Adds the NVIDIA GeForce NOW user-scope flatpak remote and installs
   `com.nvidia.geforcenow`.
3. Forces the app onto XWayland (`--nosocket=wayland --socket=x11`).
4. Adds a `~/.local/bin/geforcenow` wrapper that sets `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11`.
5. Writes `~/.local/share/applications/com.nvidia.geforcenow.desktop`
   pointing at the wrapper, with `StartupWMClass=GeForceNOW` so the
   windowrule matches.
6. Appends a marker-bracketed block to `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`
   adding `windowrule = fullscreen, class:^(GeForceNOW)$` and reloads
   Hyprland.
7. Restarts Walker's Elephant backend so the new entry shows up.

## Uninstall

```bash
./uninstall-geforcenow-native.sh
```

Removes the flatpak, the user remote, the launcher, both desktop entries,
the app data under `~/.var/app/`, the Hyprland marker block (and any
legacy pre-marker `GeForceNOW` lines), then reloads Hyprland and
restarts Elephant.

Flatpak and Flathub are intentionally left installed — they're often shared
with other apps.

## Notes

- Tested on Hyprland 0.54.3 with Omarchy. Uses the modern `windowrule`
  syntax (no `windowrulev2`).
- The windowrule lives in `hyprland.conf` because Omarchy's stock
  `hyprland.conf` does not source `~/.config/hypr/windowrules.conf`.
- Re-running the installer is safe — the marker block is stripped and
  re-added, so duplicates can't accumulate.
