World of Warcraft on Linux: Install Battle.net via Steam
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to easily install World of Warcraft (WoW) on Linux (Bazzite, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Steam Deck, etc.). We'll use Steam as the launcher to take full advantage of Proton's power. No complicated setup required – simply add the Battle.net Setup.exe and you're good to go!
What you'll learn in this video:
✅ Add the Battle.net Setup.exe as a non-Proton program to Steam.
✅ Select the correct Proton version (Experimental).
✅ Bonus: Enhance your Steam interface with graphics from SteamGridDB for a perfect look.
