I've never played any Baldurs Gate, but am interested in playing the upcoming one. Checking proton db, it looks like the previous games had good Linux support (even native support?).

What are the odds we'll see Linux compatibility with this newest one?

My personal experience...

I've been playing BG3 using Proton since Patch one. It went from running alright, too absolute shit, too Amazing recently. There was a period during EA where Vulkan wasn't working at all. Possibly because they were optimizing. As of now, I run it 1440p, max or near max settings, on a mediocre PC with Proton 8.0x. It's a truly beautiful game, and I've only seen about 75% of ACT 1...

So yes, although not natively supported, it runs perfect with Proton.
