Good solution, cheers! I also followed the other commenter’s idea to add it as a KDE shortcut so I can use it on demand.

I guess I’ll just need to be careful not to paste a bazillion lines of text lol

I had a similar problem, it was caused by undervoltage. Are you using the official power supply?

No, installed from debian repository

I see!

I installed protontricks and read through the usage instructions

I’ve done protontricks-launch --appid 1086940 /home/user/Downloads/windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.35-win-x64.exe

but it looks like it’s stuck?

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I’ve never used protontricks before

Edit: using protontricks 1086940 dotnetdesktop7 seems to get past that point, but then I get another error

protontricks (ERROR): Active compatibility tool was found, but it's not a Proton installation supported by Protontricks.
Proton installation could not be found!

my proton is installed in a different steam library than BG3, could this cause issues?

Or maybe they have the ability to make you weaker

Yep it’s not near finished. This is one of those projects that’s sat in my “keep an eye on it” bookmarks for a good while, I figured I’d post it to get some attention on it, because it does look very promising.
