      Yep, my computer is zippy and nice but they won’t even let me upgrade. I’m off to Linux once I’ve finished BG3.

        You may want to try BG3 on linux, too. Might even get better performances at this point.

          So BG3 probably runs just fine but my main concern was that I made the purchase on GOG and downloading it manually was a nightmare and I kept getting failures to download or install with the 3rd party GOG launcher solutions. If I could have gotten past that, I would have been golden. I didn’t want to invest the time to figure it out so I just reverted back for the time being.

          I was super impressed with Steam + proton though. Insane how far Linux gaming has come.

        BG3 runs more reliably on Linux for me, though my Windows install is getting old and crusty these days.

      I’m Running the most recent kernel and Linux on a rolling release distro, on my 8 year old Ryzen, with upgraded GPU. Runs buttery smooth even with new games! Windows is a joke.

      My hardware is closing in between 7-9 years depending on the part. Have been meaning to upgrade and convert to Linux, but for now my pc “just works”
