I just installed Ubuntu on a second drive in my main machine. Unlike prior attempts, everything is working great. I play Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm regularly. I don’t see it in ProtonDB. It seems to play fine. Anyone have any issues with it? I remember long ago things like Battlefield of Eternity map circles wouldn’t show.

Nice, Blizzard has always had unofficial support for wine. I used to play WoW back in vanilla on Linux using Crossover (or whatever it was called back then.) Occasionally the battle.net launcher will get an update that borks it, but Blizzard has always been very quick to fix it. I play WoW, Diablo4, HOTS, and Hearthstone from Linux. With the recent influx of Linux adoption, maybe Blizzard will release a native Linux launcher. Have to see where things are in the next 5 years.
