....wait a minute

Did #GenshinImpact just get allowed on #GeForceNOW on Linux at the same time as #HonkaiStarRail ?????????

THAT'S HALF A SURPRISE.

Like, Yuanshen was already on GeFN, but wasn't playable on Linux for some godsforsaken reason.

But today it's just

there

@jillian on GeFN specifically, yes.

If you have a subscription to the service and a Deck, that would be the easiest way to run it - second easiest (nerd-type) being a microSD with Win10/Win11 and a USB with the game.

@jillian PERMISSION TO BE A HUGE F*CKING NERD?

@jillian (and I probably misinterpreted the previous toot as "already using GeFN on Deck for Genshin", which should have been impossible until recently now that I think about it, but I still request permission to be unbearably, loudly on my nerd shit)

@jillian aaaah!

Well uh, until recently (even with my testing) GeFN wasn't letting Linux users play Genshin.

Which uh. Technically, since 3.8 Bottleland, you don't need GeFN. The game just works, no patch, nuffin.

The easy way to install it on Linux/Deck is Heroic+EGS.

The nerd way is https://gist.github.com/cybik/e101f4529090e0f409908f459a055956#file-genshin-install-linux-en-md

I'll go back to my nerd abode and shut up now :P
