Long story short: I am absolutely inexperienced with Linux distros but made the switch from Windows a bit more than a year ago. Right now, everyone’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, including a lot of the podcasts and shows I follow: since I never experienced the OG games, I wanted to try them out. They were on sale on GOG, and I had previously set up Lutris so that it interfaced directly with it. But the game refuses to start. Every installation method I tried has miserably failed at some point or another, and when it didn’t, the game just won’t boot up (either in Lutris or out of it). I’m out of options and I have asked for a refund. Is the situation with the Steam versions any different?Am I missing something? Help!

    I played the enhanced editions on Steam which have a native Linux build. No issues.

      And to add to this, there’s a Humble Bundle right now with the Steam versions of both of those games included. I’ve also been playing the Enhanced Editions on Steam recently, and they’ve worked just fine on Linux.
