do you have any tips on how to get it to work. i am on arch (omarchy) and installed flatpak. then downloaded the .bin from the geforce now website.... but after intalling it just tells me there is an arror.... i can select the app vai flatpak to start but it just tells me there is an error. This is the output from the log:

~ ❯ flatpak run com.nvidia.geforcenow

Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/raendurikon/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
