It is also helpful to know that if you make any mistakes in you character build, you can respec your class and ability scores very early in the game for a fairly low price. The things that you cannot change are your origin, race or appearance, but these don't have such a great impact (unless you take the Dark Urge origin and find a bit too bloody for your tastes - in which case you have to start over)

Personally, I never played DND but I did play a bunch of RPGs before (such as the Pathfinder games on PC) and I love checking out character build guides. The learning curve of BG3 was pretty smooth for me.

I use the Steam version with the -provider Portal launch modifier (lets me use my old ANet account)

Dropping by to throw some more praise onto the pile for Nobara Linux - it's my current distro and I have an AMD RX 6700 as well. All the games in my Steam library work great, including Baldur's Gate 3 (no tweaks necessary other than enabling the latest GE-Proton version). Unfortunately I haven't played any of the games you listed; my preferences lean mostly towards RPGs like Elden Ring, Path of Exile, Guild Wars 2, Valheim (with mods!), Enderal and so on.

This, or the Tray Icons: Reloaded extension for GNOME, which adds the Steam icon to the tray bar. From there, you can click it and it shows a list of the installed games.

If you are new to Linux, GNOME has quite a different feel from your usual Windows flow. I personally love it and would never swap back.

(Off-topic, but If you would be interested in a gaming-oriented distro, I would recommend Nobara Linux - the official version looks fairly familiar for Windows users and it also comes with a bunch of gaming-related stuff preinstalled like Steam, wine dependencies, mesa drivers for AMD, etc)

Sven said in an interview they will try to get Steam Deck verification at launch or otherwise soon after

As a complete casual Linux user (made the switch last year), all the games I previously played on Windows work on Linux smoothly with minimal or no intervention on my part. Even started fiddling with emulators - Legend of Zelda BotW on yuzu worked right out of the box

A note for folks who didn't know this - if you're using kbin, when you search for lemmy communities to subscribe to you should remove the ! from the search query (eg, use nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml instead of !nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml). This way you will find the community instead of related posts.
