I’ve played WoW classic on Linux without any real issues. The easiest way imo is through Lutris.

1. Install Lutris (should be in most distro repos)
2. Add game, choose battle.net
3. Let it install, launch, and login to battle.net
4. Install WoW classic from inside battle.net

Be sure to note where Lutris is installing your games (it’s configurable), so that if you decide to use add-ons you’ll know where to put them. I used WowUp, specifically the CurseForge version to manage my add-ons.

WoW itself runs pretty much flawlessly. I may have made some VK3D tweaks, but I’m not home and can’t check my notes. Let me know if you run in to any problems.

Very happy to hear this. I’ve been really enjoying the game but expected my time in the game to have an expiration date. Hope they follow through and the game can maintain a decent player base.

I use chezmoi for tracking dotfiles and used to use a fancy Ansible setup. Now, I just occasionally backup a list of explicitly installed packages and track the major changes made to the system in a simple Markdown file.

I’ve got Cyberpunk into a corrupted state via mods before. Ultimately had to delete the Wine prefix and do a complete reinstall after that.

Glad it worked out for you!

The improvements in the last 5 years or so have been dramatic. When I switched to Linux ~12 years ago I had to give up gaming. Now, we can get the best of both worlds.

I’ve used ROCm for pytorch and stable diffusion. Using the pre-built docker images is definitely the way to go. Once setup, it’s worked great for me.

You just have to understand that most projects are going to assume Nvidia (CUDA), so you’ll have to jump through more hoops and still may not be able to do everything.
