This is huge. I was beginning to lose hope we'd ever see a big budget high-profile non-indie get a Linux port ever again.

Edit: Maybe not that huge...

Now that there is a Steam Deck Native build, is Baldur’s Gate 3 supported on Linux?

Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform. The Steam Deck Native build is only supported on Steam Deck.

That is to be expected. Which Linux should they support? Steam Deck is ok, it's stable, new and popular. Arch? No way. Ubuntu? Yeah, no. Any other "gaming distro" some dudes built? Who would want to support that?

So what is Linux you want companies to support?

I use Arch btw.

You don't have to support any specific Linux, valve provides all the necessary runtimes
