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.

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...
