I want to be insanely excited for this but am wondering how friendly whatever launcher they use will be on Linux.

    Good reason for optimism: they have official Linux clients for both main games, and Dragonwilds is/was well-supported on Proton.

    Do they have an official Linux client for RS3 again? Last I checked, they only had a really ancient package for Ubuntu where you'd have to mess around with the dependencies - or you could use Proton, or an unofficial flatpak. I'm not even on a Debian based distro so I play via Proton when I do

    Great question: I thought there was one, but it’s probably what you’re describing. I haven’t touched RS3 in almost decade, so I’m ootl on details.

    That said, Bolt definitely supports RS3, and there’s been enough lip-service towards Linux client work from Jagex that I’d be outright stunned if they didn’t at least tacitly support Linux for RS4.

    Good news they currently have a Linux launcher in beta for OSRS and eventually itll expand to rs3 and dragon wilds, so rs4 will likely use that too!
