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.

Use heroic! It works great as an unofficial gog client for Linux, you can try it on windows to see how it works

I'll try it out next time! I was trying to dive head first and probably should have just dual booted until I worked out the kinks.

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