It took longer than we ever hoped, but Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is finally in opt-in beta for Linux. It may have taken over a year and a half, but they really are about to deliver on their promise. Better late than never right?
The password is "marchofpenguins", so you need to use that on the beta section of the game properties on Steam.

Actually it doesn't seem necessary to activate the beta - I was able to download and play the game without doing so.

BG is a 16 year old game with a community that's still modding today. It would be impossible to list all the mods available.

Edit: actually "what mods" was altogether poorly worded, I really meant "which mods"
