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
you can just run battlenet through steam:
a tiny bit of effort, but only required once. everything afterwards just works!
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.
My condolences
