I spent a couple hours trying to get Baldur's Gate 3 running on Linux. It was rough but I got it to run at 1440 but the latency made it sort of unplayable. It runs great in Windows 10 at 4k with the default settings. I have some other windows-only software so I guess I'm going to "upgrade" all my computers that are able to do so but I don't feel good about it. All my computers dual boot windows/linux, I would love to be linux-only.
Edit: lots of people are saying theirs runs smoothly, I'm going to have to do further testing. Thanks for the input!
What Linux distro and version do you run? Do you have proton installed and all the drivers? It should run flawlessly.
Ubuntu 24.04, as far as I know I have all the right Proton stuff installed and the latest Nvidia drivers.
