From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It's been discounted down to like 3€ a few times
I think you're probably using Proton, which is basically the same as running a Windows apps on WINE. I'd choose GOG over Steam due to philosophical reasons (DRM-free gaming). And also, because GOG has the Linux version. The only issue is packaging the setup dependency into multiple distros, which I'm trying to make it working on Nix for now.
What's gog?
GOG.com was formerly known as Good Old Games. It is a digital distribution platform for games and movies. It is a subsidiary of CD Projekt. Games on GOG are DRM-free.
Thanks!
