How do I set up World of Warcraft for use with Linux? (lemmy.world)

I've looked around a little, and found some mentions of using Lutris, or running it through Steam (tbh I don't know how that would work), but I'm not really able to find any guide that explains the process well enough. I'm so used to the game being handled by Blizzard's Battle.net launcher, so I can't really wrap my head around how that would work.

Keep in mind that sometimes a Battle.net update will be released that will essentially break playing WoW and other games via the launcher on Linux. usually it's resolved within a couple days. your best bet is to install it via a Lutris script and if something goes wrong DO post about it either on the Lutris Forums and/or Discord because one of the main Lutris devs is a WoW player so if there are issues with installing WoW on your system he will be right on top of it. It's your best bet in resolving an issue, he knows all the work arounds and fixes to get battle.net and WoW running on any distro.
