    Last week I ditched windows for linux on my last computer.

    And yesterday and today have been spent working fruitlessly to mod Baldur’s Gate 3.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out what’s going wrong. So far, I’ve gotten a grand total of zero mods to work. If I were still on Windows, I could use one of two or three separate mod managers.

    Sadly, this new laptop didn’t come with Windows 10, only 11. Which was what fueled the drive to ditch it for linux.

        Ah yeah, Lamp. I’ve not gotten it to work at all.

        As for Lutris, I tried both Vortex and the BG3ModManager. Couldn’t get either working.

        I even tried a straight wine install.

        So I’ve been forced to do mod entries by hand. And even that isn’t working, but at least I’ve stopped crashing the game.

        Fun fact about Lutris and BG3ModManager, apparently a recent update to Lutris broke compatibility. I’ve yet to track down which version, I’ve just seen posts on various forums from the last few weeks talking about it.

      You can download Windows 10 directly from Microsoft. Any version you like, if you use the command line interface.

      You can then use an open source bit of software to commercially license it. This is basically legitimate, for all intents and purposes. It’s how corporate licenses are done.

      A computer built for Windows 11 hardware should work just fine in Windows 10. You might not be able to use the official manufacturer’s drivers for certain bits, but the generic drivers should still work.

      Welcome to Linux, where simultaneously the forum “have you tried Linux?” people claims it works perfectly, and they’ve never once encountered an issue ever in their lifetime, and the rest of the users struggle with bullshit error after error that somehow miraculously don’t occur on the soapboxers’ machines

      There’s a github installer for mod organizer 2 on linux, which I use for modding skyrim. Maybe that would work for you as well?
