Replace native GFN (impossible on this GPU) with browser GFN + Moonlight
The native GeForce NOW client hard-requires Vulkan video-decode extensions (error 0xC0F11312) and the BC-250 has no video decode hardware — unfixable at driver level. Replaced with: - Chromium + a GeForce NOW web-app shortcut (works on Linux Chromium without UA tricks nowadays; CPU-decoded 1080p) - Moonlight client for streaming from a home Sunshine host (planned: VM with RTX 3050 passthrough on the R730) Drops bc250-gfn-install service/script.
