I've played it exclusively on the Steam Deck, which runs Arch Linux + Proton (Valve's compatibility layer that anyone can run).
If you’re as keen on Linux as you seem to be, then Proton is your friend. We may never see native builds, but already developers are putting way more effort into making sure the Deck (meaning Linux) experience is good.
Here’s a video of the head of Larian Studios talking about how they’re viewing the Steam Deck - https://youtu.be/kzfEkSGa45k
> This is an ambitious device. We love it. We’re going to do everything we can to support it. We’re going to make sure that every single game, Baldur’s Gate III included, is going to play really smoothly on the Steam Deck.
Valve have made adding Linux support easy and desirable (because of the market share of the Deck). And developers are responding. Don’t miss out because you want “native builds”.
