I wouldn’t say it runs particularly well currently. I play it at 720p lower settings and it will go 50 - 60 fps at several places and times… but then when there’s a ton of action and enemies, suddenly you’re in Jittery High 20s / Low 30s Land.

But it’s still very fun, especially with friends, and everyone picks their jobs and gets down to business. And it’s early access and early on in its road map… I imagine it’ll just get smoother as they optimize it more over time.

I haven’t noticed any increase, but I tend to use custom fan curves and play the same 5 - 10 games most of the time, so it doesn’t vary much.

Playing a lot of Jump Space and Deep Rock Galactic with friends.

Single player, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to be my long haul game, and Brotato and Balatro remain my “20 free minutes to game” games

Day. One. Purchase.

I’m sorry friend, but I doubt you’re going to get many assisting responses here regarding this issue.

The overwhelming majority of people with a Steam Deck are running Steam OS on it, and I’d be stunned if more than a couple of dozen people on planet Earth are running your OS on one.

Add to that the fact that many, many people who play BG3 on the Deck are running the Windows version of the game under Proton (both for familiarity’s sake, and to make stuff like frame generation easier), and I don’t think that it’s just that you’re looking for a needle in a haystack… I think it’s more like you’re looking for a specific hydrogen atom inside the sun.

Am the the only weirdo who swapped over to Linux without knowing a ton about it, and didn’t really have any issues? I just started with a Windows-user-friendly distro (Mint Cinnamon), and then just looked up how to get through any weird (to me) issues that I encountered over time. Gradually learned more about what’s under the hood as I went.

But I see these memes and stories about “I tried Linux, it lasted a week and I went back to Windows” here and there.

It’s not scary. Am I missing something? XoD
