With GeForceNow now being available for Linux we can now use the service with optimal performance.
Unfortunately Nvidia only officially supports SteamDeck and during getting this to work on my systems I had to get through some hoops that i want to share here.
First of all the app Nvidia provided is just a normal Flatpak app so the installation is relatively straight forward.
We will not use the official binary that Nvidia proved here, we can install the Flatpak app ourselves.

Forked from the guide for M1. But on Linux, since Ruby 2.5 is already a legacy build.
I installed readline and openssl with standard brew install.
brew install readline
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install openssl@1.1
brew install gcc@13
Here I'm gathering awesome things to do with Steam Deck.

I was trying to setup and optimize SQM QoS (Smart Queue Management and Quality of Service) on my router for Cloud Gaming, and specifically for GeForce Now, for quite some time. I hope these findings will be useful to someone.
Smart Queue Management is great and works amazingly to reduce bufferbloat, and by default it's optimized for Voice calls and fair queue between all traffic.
