    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

      everyone goes through that phase. logs often help a lot, and you will start to get a feel for what may be wrong. once some things become second nature you will stop needing windows. meanwhile, friction means you are learning.

      i usually favor lutris for gaming anyway, it’s better at keeping everything together and updated ime. bottles tends to lag behind a bit by default which is not ideal for games atm.

      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!
