Official support for any distro is not that important, imo. If they actually deliver a native GeForce NOW app for SteamOS, it'll likely work on other distros too (unless Nvidia actively blocks them/only supports Steam Deck controls specifically).
Hopefully they'll release the app on Steam directly, or better yet, to flathub. If they only release a script to install it specifically on the Steam Deck, like the beta script they currently have, I'll be disappointed.
Though I agree, I think my issue previously was that they were specifically blocking it on non whitelisted platforms. I'll see if I can find the thread.
