Under Arch it hasn’t dropped to Stable yet, so unless you are running the testing branch, you won’t have to worry. I think it took 5.27 two weeks or so to get to the stable branch after its “release,” so you are probably looking at early to mid March. By then, we should also have Plasma 6.1 drop, ie, updates.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
OMG, its like being at the point in your RPG game where you are tasked to retrieve the DRM-free game, but you know the price from the crazed troll is going to be your rogue’s head and all your gear, else more violence.
I played it using Lutris. I think I had to use winetricks to install .net and after that it ran flawlessly. Do a search on the net. I think the same can be done for Steam using Protontricks. It is such a cool game and if BG3 is anything like it, I am stoked.
Firstly, see if there is a gog version. GOG versions are always easier to install imo. I use 1337x to find the games, or any other seeder will do. Download your pirated game and either use wine locally, or for an easier way, I love LUTRIS! Search in Lutris to see if there is a ‘runner’ for your game. This makes installing easier because it runs a script that installs all the windows components need for that game. It it usually ask for your pirated game’s .exe file at some point to install. Done, ready to go.
If you can’t find a runner for your game, I usually find a runner with a more recent, heavy 3D gammer game and use it instead. For whatever reason, Star Wars Jedi Fallen runner seems to work with a lot of games.
Also, make sure you are using Wine-staging and all the i386 files. Here is a guide to help you install.
Not your fault and sorry if it came across as accusatory. Oddly it did play on my computer using VLC. I just wonder if they encoded a bit differently than RARBG?
No. I had no issues with RARBG x265 releases. This is a first.
Setup the big screen for viewing tonight and it was a bust. This version would not play on either my projector or the Firestick using VLC player, normally they play all my x265 HEVC, and more. It was a bust. I will have to find another rip. I am not sold on INFINITY, unfortunately.
Yes, stick with Arch. Arch is not the issue if installed without the holding chambers Manjaro puts in place. Arch has a good installer on its own, but if you need a bit more, distros like EndeavourOS, Calam-Arch-Installer, ALCI (Arch Linux Calamares Installer,) and even Garuda are all fine options.
I would never upgrade without doing a backup of my system so I could revert back. I assume you did not do this?
