Just an update on this, Patch 5 was released and it was a huge update. Once again, even the developers recommend downloading the whole game again with Patch 5 included. To my knowledge, both Fitgirl/DODI are still offering outdated versions. You can get the latest game + Patch5 on 1337z by IGGGAMESCOM, works well for me.

There is no linux version. Steam/Valve has been updating their proton versions to work with BG3. I would recommend using their ‘proton experimental.’ If you buy from GOG, you can use Lutris, they have a runner that should install everything needed to run BG3, and it also lists some tweaks to make.

You could go with System76, I think they have a high-end “graphics” laptop, which would be suitable for gaming. Open source company so you are guaranteed everything is compatible with Linux.

However, if money is an issue or you find something else you like, for example the Dell XPS laptops ( in the past have been very compatible with linux,) here is a tool to check the model and/or the parts (important) such as wifi, etc., to see if they are compatible for a lot of laptops.

I get the open source support part of your comment, but you are taking out the fact Steam/Valve has done a lot …A LOT…to get games working on Steam. Additionally, for the first time every they have driving Linux marketshare higher than MacOS as a result. So, to dismiss them completely is wrong. They have done a lot for linux…and linux gaming.

I need this!

Is there a shittywallpaper community? I would love this.

Your friends lived happily ever after.

The man-child billionaire says he is not for censorship, while using the judicial system to censor.

Not blaming them, but at the same time, they are being forced to comply and my pirating ass is having no part of it.

Thanks. I switched to dns.watch after reading this.

Who turned up Google’s nazi dial?

For the record, I do believe in extraterrestrial life forms and I do believe they are here and have been for some time. However, this whole dog and pony show and congressional committee is another CIA/Intelligence Community front to control the narrative, think project blue book 2.0. You have a couple of high ranking intelligent agency officials sitting behind the whistle-blowers with big smiles on. James Clapper is one, ex Obama guy and ex DNI (although they are never retired.) Big on the UFO disinformation front. You have the main whistle-blower telling you all this information, but can’t give out any data to back up his story…you just have to believe him (and the CIA.) You have to dig deep in the UFO information/disinformation happenings to understand what is going down here.

The Batman scenes were the ONLY thing worth watching in this movie. I will watch it again and fast forward to them only. I will be happy to never see Ezra Miller in a movie ever again. He made my head hurt.

Arch user, btw. Isn’t Ubuntu going to an all-Snaps version? If so, shouldn’t the polar bear be extra bloated?

I would add the title of 'Most pirated series, but do to the utterly shit ending, also the most regrettable."

I have been using VLC on linux and android since forever, but recently on my new Amazon Firestick 4k Max, VLC was having issues playing h.265 HEVC movies. So, someone recommended Nova Player, and it played them beautifully. Nice player, I may switch all my devices to Nova.

🤣 That is competition!

You are not alone. Many love its ‘restrained’ workflow, and DEs are subjective. It sounds like you are ready to move to KDE. KDE has a ‘Overview’ that mimics Gnome’s, so best of both worlds and the taskbar in KDE is actually functional. Don’t waste anymore time, make the switch to day. Operators are standing by. 🤣

KDE user so for my personal files I backup with both Kups and Bups (install both) and you get the choice of cloning type or only changed files with going back in time choices. Integrates into KDE taskbar/system settings.

For redundancy, I back up my main sync folder on the desktop to my laptop using Syncthing over my WiFi/network.

Fake news! Gentoo would still be at the train station loading its cargo for at least a week.
