Targets the official com.nvidia.geforcenow flatpak (not the community electron build). Forces XWayland for Hyprland compatibility and injects a marker-bracketed windowrule into ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf so it takes effect on Omarchy (where ~/.config/hypr/windowrules.conf is not auto-sourced). Updated for Hyprland 0.54.3: - Uses modern `windowrule = ...` syntax (drops deprecated windowrulev2). - Idempotent marker block in hyprland.conf, with hyprctl reload. - Restarts Elephant so Walker picks up the new .desktop entry.

# 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.
