I do not have a deck personally (yet!) however since I do run Linux on my desktop I was very happy that running Diablo 4 on Linux was super easy to do.

I wasn't too concerned since all of the other Blizzard games run on Linux as well, as far as I know.

I have it on my deck as well and it runs really nicely, 60fps constant on low or some slight framedrops on medium but never below 40, the only downside is if I press the power button to pause, it never reconnects for me when I resume, so I gotta close the whole game and reopen it.

Also, I found that by binding L1 and L2 to R3 and R4 (back buttons), then Right Joystick to output Left Joystick, I can play the game with just my right hand, freeing up my left hand for other activities... The right joystick is only really used for scrolling long item text and zooming in and out in map, which you can do using the touch pad anyway.

I’ve played on my PC and on the deck. I can safely say I have put in more hours playing on the deck than I’ve done on the PC.

I was impressed too! I’ve had LESS issues running it on my steam deck than I have on my PC! Could be luck or just something between low and high settings causing me more issues. Worth going through the effort of loading up Battle.net for. As a long time mouse and keyboard player controller feels good for Diablo.

That is pretty awesome. I didn't realize you could run battle.net on Linux. Last time I looked into this though was right before D2:R came out and was trying to get it working on Pop!_OS. Can't remember much, but I do remember not really being able to get it to work.

Glad to see that things have progressed. I don't own a steam deck, but I'm definitely filing this away as something that is possible to do. However, I'm really enjoying D4 on my xbox. :)

What guide did you use to install battle.net?
