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.
Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS
I need this!
Is there a shittywallpaper community? I would love this.
Your friends lived happily ever after.
I don’t trust any of these players, especially Adobe, who has always been king of the proprietary shitlords. If they are forming this “committee” or “alliance,” why aren’t there any open source players appointed?
Arch user, btw. Isn’t Ubuntu going to an all-Snaps version? If so, shouldn’t the polar bear be extra bloated?
Fake news! Gentoo would still be at the train station loading its cargo for at least a week.
This…all of it! I love the spicy potatoes, crunchwrap, so many choices.
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.
LOL, kind of a fresh take on an old meme joke. Love it.
Amen, to that!!
I am on Garuda Linux running their KDE Dr460nized Gaming Edition. It is based on Arch Linux, btw. Because it is Arch, I only recommend it to moderate to advanced linux users, maybe newbies if they are not the kind to go running to a help forum and post, but instead research and figure things out. With that said, Garuda comes with a handy click/install GUI for many things, but a special section for Gamers that makes installing everything you need easy and simple.
If you are a newbie, I would recommend an Ubuntu distro because it has a HUGE help forum to get your feet wet. In that, I would recommend Drauger OS, it is Ubuntu for Gamers.
Lovely pic. Brings back lots of memories. I use to live there, loved it. Got out before…well, the rich tech moguls flew in like locust and ruined what once was.
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.
