If the universe is deterministic then something else has to be responsible for (the illusion of libertarian) free will. But you don’t know that the universe is deterministic.
How is a probabilistic universe more conducive to free will? If I can predict that you have exactly a 50% chance of doing some action, based on the output of the module in your brain that is specialized to generate random numbers, I can still interact with you like with a machine.
Libertarian free will is standardly defined as being able to make decisions that are not determined by the preceding state of the universe (and also rational and on line with your desires to a one extent). Its not defined as not being mechanical in anyway and defining it that way kind of makes it supernatural.
