BAM, scheduled video :)
enjoy whoever wants to play world of warcraft on linux :P through lutris and bottles
Used to use Lutris and Bottles last expansion on Manjaro. Went the Steam route this time am wondering if I just need to flash my OS again, might distro hop again at that point.
Thank you it work. I’m using Lutris
great video, thanks!
Only thing stopping me is I can't get Trade Skill Master for wow to work on linux. Thanks for the video
I had it working on Nobara 39 via Steam but then it broke. Have done Bottles and Lutris in the past. Will see if there's anything to fix here.
hey, I've thought of ditching windows to linux for daily use, I've learned that arch is the best one, but there are distros that use arch like CachyOS, I would be new to linux so would that one be a good starter or something else? I prefer a very light weight minimal setup with just the essential customizations so i can make it like mine but not have a ton of bloat, and play games edit videos, just daily drive it. and having a package manager? to install the components to make everything work along side with terminal which i learned i'd still be using, would be helpful, (if they all don't have some UI managers but only terminal) i'm new so i don't know that much. So the guestion is which ones are great for new people that are lightweight and can be used pretty hashle free to daily drive (I know it might still have it's difficulties for new people but to get the most hashle free experience possible) and that kind of which has a windows like taskbar like the one on the video, I like that style it may be easier to get used to while learning linux as the task/ app layout would be familiar to what i'm used to. And which ones would you recommend KDE or gnome and what else there was. and I use an nvidia graphics card btw.
Cachyos is a good choice, i havent used it yet but it probs be the exact same experience I'm getting with endeavour os right now just that maybe it has some extra gui options that i dont rlly need, but could be for you.
one thing to learn is that the majority of Linux users use flatpak now for gui apps so the experience with lets say gimp under flatpak would be the same experience on every single distro as flatpak is containerized/separate from your system depends, so editing or whatever for gui apps shouldn't be a problem, the way i use arch is i have discover, this is a gui store in kde plasma(the desktop environment your seeing in that video) to install flatpak applications, flatpak isnt installed usually on arch by default.
Then if any system packages i want to use or install will be done through the terminal with the paru command, so lets say i want to install steam well i would just type paru steam then select steam from the list and it will install it.
If i want a package from the aur i do the same thing with paru and then it will compile and build that package for me.
There is a lot to learn jumping head first into arch/linux but if you think you can handle learning it then go for it
@@linuxnext thanks for the detailed info I got the general picture how things work, I'll research differences between different ones and probably try them all out to find my favourite and learn as I go, since arch is very loved I have to give it a try atleast, I'm tired of optimizing and debloating and preventing data collection and all the windows crap on windows even tho after that the using part of it is easy, But I believe that if when i first started using any OS on a pc if it was linux I'd learn it like anyone would learn windows if they were a complete noob. there are so much tutorials and guides so it can't be impossible to learn the new platform and you have alot of linux videos so I subbed and will check them out.
@@hupe5836 yeah exactly :)
Took me around 2 years to learn the basics of most distros and im still learning everyday about linux, i used windows for 10 years and i was very confused when i first used it, it was not easy by any means, but using linux made my realize that how windows operates and behaves, file paths etc is pretty bad compared to linux ngl
Got the battle net setup to work via Steam using proton 8 NOT 9 or GE9.4. I prefer this method over the others. Once you get the setup.exe to run with Proton 8-1 and the installation completes you can switch to proton GE9.5 like I did.
Thanks!
Thank you as always lol, What distro are you using at the moment?
@@linuxnextI like using openSUSE and Fedora, those are the ones that haven't given me any problems

Any particular reason you stopped using tumbleweed? I’m thinking to move from mint but not sure which distro to settle on
Uuuh, probs just i wanted to get the latest updates as im quite impatient sometimes lol, and i guess one thing i had to do was add a rule to the user account so i didnt need to type my password Everytime i wanted to install a flatpak application from the store but thats one thing, but if you watch my video about it its rlly easy to do as every system option is available in the yast gui, the other was opensuse had removed some options from mesa for it to decode video with the gpu, so watching a twitch stream would use my cpu and it uses quite a bit, but thats not a big problem for most people.
Other then those things i dont think there were any other problems with opensuse tumbleweed, they test packages well and make sure things aren't broken when you get them, solid option for people that want a rolling release but dont want to touch the terminal that much or if ever rlly lol
@@linuxnext Ahhh fair enough bro, im currently using mint while doing developer related stuff, but i think i am eventually going to settle for either fedora or pop once I get rid of my nvidia gpu and get an amd one!
Ive been considering switching to Linux after this new WIndows screenshot features have been announced. How will addons.Weakauras work under linux?
Addons?
found what you meant lol, there is a manager i found thats great at doing this for you wowup.io/
I was looking for this 6h ago xd
Where do you have to move the MangoHud.config file when using the flatpak version?
Instead of moving it you can give mangohud flatpak access to your system mangohud, let me find it real quick for you
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/MangoHud:ro
Restart and it will be applied
@@linuxnext after executing the command line, the ManguHud.config in .config started working. Thank you for everything you do.
Ooh u run endeavouros too ngl it's my favorite so far now just waiting for cosmic desktop to come out
Same :) cosmic-epoch is getting there but playing games is not ready at all lol
@@linuxnext unfortunately 😭btw know how to change the kernel on endeavouros? Want to install xanmod but struggling
@GWFO you install another kernel like zen then it will be added to your grub or systemd bootloader when you reboot
So for me i use paru so
Paru -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers
@@GWFO xanmod is only for debian based distribution. for endeavour you can try the zen kernel or the tkg kernel (you will have to build this one from source)
@@linuxnext i would not recommend the use of grub-customizer, since its not a reliable tool, and it was build for use with debian, so its not thar hard do mess up your grub, and made you unable to boot. its really easy do change default kernel by editing the right files
This is a form of pain don't like wine hates me battle net hates me on Linux Mint.
I havent tried the steam method yet, but bottles and lutris do not work. Battle net chat doesnt work, games crash. I watched several youtube videos and about 45 min in, gave up and was back on windows 11. I got past the 45% hang but i cant get further than that. I tried ZorinOS and Mint Xfce latest stable versions. Popular games that arent on steam having issues is why ppl wont switch to Linux. I really wish warcraft had native support. I dont use Adobe software or microsoft office thats not an issue its just the games and their addons.
Hmm idk, this stuff is pretty easy to learn in my opinion, you just gotta give it another shot, whats your hardware?
@@linuxnext i5 12600k radeon 6950xt 32GB ddr4
well you have amd so i would suggest a leading edge or rolling based distro like fedora kde plasma or arch based like garuda or endeavour os
these use newer mesa and kernel versions which in hand make your gaming experience better
also their is a app for addons for wow that i found called
wowup
wowup.io/
@@linuxnext curseforge has a native version for linux. I just tried all methods on Mx Linux and it ended again in failure. With lutris the game crashes after the cinematic. steam cant finish the battle net installer with either 9.0 or expirimental. I cant risk ditching windows until i Know Battle net will work flawlessly. I havent tried any fedora or arch yet only Ubuntu forks and debian.
But, did you tried to install and run WoW? =/
Sadly no, and for some reason people are having problems which other people who do use linux daily dont have these problems. Im going to look into it
the problem is that i got a lot less fps on linux on WoW compared to windows
by how much? what gpu aswell? what distro?
@@linuxnext rx 570 like 80-100 fps im using arch linux i want to change to linux but I know that my card is old and that is why losing so many fps is not acceptable. I am fine with stopping playing lol and valorant but wow I can't , on windows on same spot i get like 280 fps on linux only get 220 max and its not as stable as windows.
hmm i see, id wait for mesa 24.1 as that has a bunch of new vulkan extensions that wine needed for improving wow64 performance.
www.phoronix.com/news/Wine-Vulkan-Map-Memory-Placed
this one
in about 2 weeks from now roughly mesa 24.1 should be available in the arch repos, i would retry again on a system packaged version of a wine game launcher
@@linuxnext i hope that mesa fix my problem i want to ditch windows so bad only have installed for wow and cisco packet tracer for study.
What version linux use ?
Endeavour os/arch
i did all this and wow just crashed every time after the cinematic.
I can't even get this this download. its just stuck
@@ItsThicc after multiple attempts ive had lutris run a bnet install, sign in then it crashes after the cinematic it got stuck for me at first 45%
can you change the graphics settings after login?
@@linuxnext i never reach a point where im in game. Ive tried the force dx11 command in the command line arguments.
This is trash. It wont work on lutrus or bottles
well one of solutions im seeing is changing the graphics api in the game, also try wine-ge or proton-ge to see if anything changes, saying its trash wont solve anything
@@linuxnextbro it wont down load completely.
