    My bottles borked my battle.net install somehow so instead of tackling the issue I’ll put it off for months/years and continue dual booting

      you can just run battlenet through steam:

      • add the installer as non-steam game
      • set compatibility to proton experimental
      • launch/install
      • find the filepath for the battlenet .exe
      • change the filepath for the target of the battlenet installer to the .exe instead
      • never touch it again; it just works!

      a tiny bit of effort, but only required once. everything afterwards just works!

        This worked immediately for me. I did have to change the install path because it still thought I had a Z drive for some reason… I do want it to work not on steam but if I can play WoW on Linux in the interim I’m happy lol

        I tried Lutris before and it would constantly stop installing and freeze up… and when I let it set up in the default directory it will install and then when I launch bnet it doesn’t show any games at all… anddd when it inevitably decides to force quit out of bnet and I click stop on lutris I get “sequence item 0: expected str instance, int found” … also constantly slowing the fuck out of my mouse/computer… I think I fucked my install up when I initially set up mint… might just wipe and start over again…

            Flatpak, I’m pretty sure that’s what the software manager installs right? I tried again today and it gave me the same shit. I do want to keep trying to get it to work though if you have any ideas!
