I didn’t even know BG3 had a Linux build, yet another W for Larian. On that note, this has been my experience with the majority of Linux builds. Most of the time it’s easier for me to just use proton, because when I see the Linux build I 1. Have to make sure it’s actually working properly and 2. Have to make sure it’s an up-to-date version; I’ve had multiple games with an old outdated Linux build alongside a shiny new windows release. Anyone else have this experience? Am I doing anything wrong?
99% of the time Linux native builds don’t work right, only work on arch or some other bleed edge build, only work on Debian lts or some other beyond ancient build.
Or just randomly explode for no reason.
Frankly it’s a big part of why a lot of people just say fuck native Linux builds. Just target a preset known system. Which is what windows builds basically are.
Steam runtimes, proton, etc. its more reliable, less likely to break and going to actually be reasonable for anything short of a billion dollar company to hope to provide support for.
Seriously as much as native Linux would be nice. We are 20 years from it being remotely realistic. So please devs just focus on proton compatibility and we can talk about native Linux later.
Outside of like vintage story and factario I can’t think of a decent Linux native version. Even then they break more frequently then their windows version or just flat out don’t work with mods or have other issues.
