Basically Larian is working on a native Linux version of BG3, and that got accidentally set as the default even though it's not yet in a launchable state.

It's been corrected now, but you may have to restart your deck to get the fix.

I wonder why they're making a Linux native version?

I know that good Linux ports can have dramatically better performance vs Windows versions, it just usually doesn't matter because few companies do actually good Linux ports.

If it's gonna be anything like their official MacOS port, then it will be worse than playing the windows version with Proton.

The MacOS port is so incredibly bad that not only do you get less bugs when playing the Windows Version using crossover, you even get better performance

From the couple of games where I've been able to compare; frames per second are exactly the same, but the CPU runs a great deal less hot. No concern on desktop, but that would make a difference on the Steam deck.

(Mark Of The Ninja has a deadlocking issue on native that it doesn't have on proton, got quite a few of Frictional's games - Penumbra, Amnesia - that just won't open on my main monitor when native, and most recently Silksong has been really funny about my 8bitdo controller when native. Works great with my fightstick, though.)
