I wouldnt limit yourself to native linux. Check out protondb.com. You can even use non-steam games through steam for use with proton (or if you're feeling more technical you could use other tools that are more hands on).
Absolutely! Currently running Diablo 4 on the SteamDeck using Proton Experimental. Runs perfectly on medium-high settings at 45-50 fps. It's insane how far we've come. When I first started using Linux over ten years ago, running Windows games was nigh-impossible. And Valve finally released their Steam client for Linux, the selection of games was ... very limited.
Yeah, that's part of the reason why I didn't re-install Linux until recently. I would install it every few years, but it was only recently that I decided to keep it.
I didn't quite know about ProtonDB and what it could do, but I did know that a lot more games are compatible lately so I thought I'd try it out. Linux is doing great it seems!
How do you get Diablo 4 to install on Linux? Any help appreciated.
I used this guide: https://www.polygon.com/23750107/how-to-play-install-diablo-4-steam-deck
I read that it is apparently also possible to simply install the Blizzard Launcher from Lutris, but I haven't tried that personally. The above guide worked without problems for me, though.
Oh that's cool as hell. I think I was aware this existed but never explored it in depth? I'll look up how to install it right now and see what my options are. I have a decently sized Steam library so this is nice.
