What issues did you have getting it to work? I have been playing hots on Linux for a few years now..nearly a couple of hours everyday, but I've not needed to install it for a long time so I've probably forgotten what was needed to set it up. There are some prerequisites and I will leave that here in case you feel like trying it out again in the future. https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md
I tried installing it through lutris, first the battle.net client and then hots but it just failed to install.
I'd have to reinstall Linux and see exactly what the issue is. I probably missed one of the prerequisites.
I read something on the Linux gaming Lemmy group where they are planning on combining the fixes so not every platform ( bottles, lutris, steam ) has to maintain their own scripts to fix things.
I'd need to actually put some effort into figuring out why it didn't work.
If you didn't know about this beforehand I would certainly consider this a case of Linux not being better.
