For those interested in the latest big RPG from Larian Studios, here's my quick initial report on Baldur's Gate 3 running on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.
It's really well done and runs perfectly on Linux (Fedora Silverblue, Steam Flatpak, AMD GPU).
The one issue I did hit was accidentally enabling cross-save, where it tried to sync (and the server must be super busy at the moment) and it hung, preventing saving from happening.
Cross-save is probably only needed for console to PC & back — I'm assuming Steam PC to Steam Deck works via Steam.

Anyway, people should have cross-save off. 😉
