I am a grumpy old man that is/was pissed that we aren't getting a "real" Baldurs Gate 3, but as it gets close to release I am sadly getting excited about it.

Has anyone played Early Access on the Steam Deck? Is it fun/playable on there? I do nearly 100% of my gaming on that now and barely touch my dedicated gaming Ubuntu machine these days.

despite supporting Linux with Divinity Original Sin

They arguably didn't even do that. It was a kickstarter goal and it took them 2 years to add support. Then it broke shortly after on Mesa and they never bothered to fix it: https://news.softpedia.com/news/how-to-make-divinity-original-sin-enhanced-edition-work-with-mesa-on-linux-513089.shtml

If Stadia did well, larian studios might have released BG3 on Linux, but when Stadia tanked, so did any idea of there being any hope of a release for general Linux.

Stadia never lead to any native ports AFAIK so this is also pretty unlikely to have happened.
