Moonlight ou NVIDIA GeForce NOW : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

Moonlight, alternative Linux à NVIDIA GeForce NOW

Mis à jour le 26 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Moonlight is a solid replacement for NVIDIA GeForce NOW if you already have a gaming PC running GeForce Experience or Sunshine. It doesn't stream from the cloud but instead from your own hardware, giving you full control and low-latency performance. It handles high-resolution streaming, gamepad support, and audio well, making it ideal for Linux users wanting to stream locally or over the network. However, it's not a cloud solution — you need your own host machine. Good for self-hosted setups, not for cloud-only gamers.

Ouvrir vos fichiers NVIDIA GeForce NOW

Moonlight does not interact with NVIDIA GeForce NOW files or configurations. There's no import or export functionality between the two. GeForce NOW saves game state in the cloud, while Moonlight relies on the host PC's local saves. Progress sync depends on the game's own cloud save system, such as Steam Cloud or platform-specific accounts. You can't transfer GeForce NOW-specific data to Moonlight — they operate on entirely different models.

Questions fréquentes

Can Moonlight stream games from a remote internet connection?

Yes, but you must configure port forwarding and a stable network. Performance depends on bandwidth and latency. It works best on local networks, but long-distance streaming is possible with tuning.

Does Moonlight work without an NVIDIA GPU?

Yes. While GeForce Experience requires an NVIDIA GPU, Moonlight also supports Sunshine, which works with AMD, Intel, and other GPUs. Hardware encoding is still recommended for best performance.

Can I use Moonlight on mobile or TV?

Yes. Moonlight has Android apps and supports TV interfaces. You can stream to Android devices, Raspberry Pi, or Linux boxes connected to your TV for a console-like experience.
