Sadly they explicitly don't support that. :(
> 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.
- rnhmjoj 1y agoWell, most game companies will only tell you the game only works on something very specific, say Ubuntu 24.04, and everything else is untested/unsupported. That doesn't exclude the game will work perfectly fine on other distros, which is usually the case.
- onli 1y agoI'd expect it to work anyway. Under Steam at least. There is nothing special about the Steam Deck/SteamOS that's not available on other distros when running Steam, afaik.
- dkersten 1y agoOf course they don’t, it would be crazy to say they would support all the different possible distros and configurations that people might run, when the majority of users are in steam deck. But that doesn’t mean it won’t run, just that if you have issues, they don’t promise to fix them. Seems reasonable to me. BG3 already ran well enough on Linux, so I imagine this will only make it run better, official support or not.
- kcb 1y agoI don't think they have to do that for a Steam Linux release. Steam has Linux native runtimes to provide games with a consistent environment across distros. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/R...
- dkersten 1y agoAh, that’s true. Steam Linux is a smaller target than Linux in general. You’re right.
