ckochandClaude Fable 5 c5f141fe34 Bake GeForce NOW native Linux app (beta) via first-boot installer
NVIDIA's client ships from their own flatpak repo (com.nvidia.geforcenow),
which default-flatpaks can't add alongside Flathub — so a stamped oneshot
service installs it on first boot with retries. Docs note the BC-250 has
no hardware video decode: streams are CPU-decoded, keep to 1080p.

# GFN ships from NVIDIA's own flatpak repo, not Flathub, so the
# default-flatpaks module can't handle it. Retries while the network
# settles; stamps /var/lib/bc250/.gfn-installed on success so the
# service never runs again.
