I mean, cool, they're finally replacing Geforce Experience, one of the worst pieces of software ever made.

But they're replacing it with shit that commits all the same crimes. Locally run webserver hosting web interfaces and a website running in a packaged Chrome accesses. Instead of something utterly wild like oh I don't know, actually building a piece of software not a web page!

Also it still commits the cardinal crime of letting 11y old me do the design and what I thought was "COOOOOL!", instead of just, you know, looking like an app. In the design language of the OS. Which would be wild, I know.

Hey at least you won't have to sign in anymore just to get automatic driver update checking.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

That is true. I will say, even with all the features dropped, this is a step in the right direction.

It's a small one overall, but credit where credit is due, this shows promise. Just wish the underlying architecture were better, it's still based on the packaged chrome thing.

But being forced to create an account for basic software features is my favorite part!

You need an account for update checks? Yet another stupid NVidia antifeature that NVCleanstall saves me from, I guess...

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yes and it sucks

you don’t anymore

I fucking work in web development, and I’d rather a UI for a desktop app be built in a native coding framework.

It doesn’t even connect well to all the system level shit it needs to do. EA’s app had a million issues with this.

If they're replacing GeForce experience.... Is that going to break moonlight?

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

By itself, yes. GameStream is EOL. And this is said end, it seems.

Your replacement option is Sunshine, or switching to using a steam link setup.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Shit that what I meant to put. Will this affect Sunshine?

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Not for me, no. Sunshine is already the open re-implementation of the gamestream component of Geforce Experience.

Oh perfect thanks

one of the worst pieces of software ever made

That's kind of an understatement.

Hey, Logitech G-Hub is bad too!!

Agreed. They are planning to take away the control panel so we'll be stuck with this dogshit. Hopefully someone makes something similar to nvidia profile inspector to simulate the old drivers so we remove this new app bullshit.
