How to install Battle.net on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck for World of Warcraft and Starcraft
20 Jul 2025 at 5:11 pm UTC

Sadly, I always end up with the Battle.net Launcher displaying "Battle.net Agent Went to Sleep: BLZBNTBNA00000005" and I can't get past that.

Kubuntu is a decent choice. However - snap's aren't great for gaming:

"Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap. [...] We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues. If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version."

So please be aware of that <3.

System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard

Personally I never use the numpad and had joined the newsletter for this specifically.
While I could propably live with the keycap layout the price does feel a lot steeper than I expected. As I do not currently NEED a keyboard this will be hard to justify getting, personally.

Great update. I already played the last demo and am very happy with the progress that was made in addressing my feedback.

Quoting: gardotd426It's not like you actually have to use Origin, and it's also not like it has any real access to your machine. EA being dickheads isn't enough of a reason to miss out on such an absolute classic of a game.
Dislaimer: Bought it, like it, gifted it...

It takes ages to boot up.
"Having trouble linking your account"
It takes ages to shut down after quitting TF|2.
Inviting friends is shit because Steam doesn't handle it.
The reporting function is the worst piece of engineering I have personally ever witnessed.
No achievments.

This seems to block Origin updates as well for me.

Metro Exodus to get a release date for Linux "soon" say 4A Games

Quoting: EikeIf we had loads of big games to choose from...
I prefer to support the few that support us.
Of course, it's everybody's own choice.
Yeah. That's why I said I'm torn on that.
I'll propably buy it if it works well enough.
Most versions still seem to have technical difficulties though.

Quoting: Lolo01Clearly a purchase for me when it comes out on Linux.
Apart from the Feral ports, we don't have too many AAA's lately.

Quoting: celphyPretty torn over here. EGS's exclusivity is a no-go for me.
But I'd like to support a Linux version ASAP.
Well, Exodus is no more an exclusivity.
Let me clarify that:

A developer that has decided to enter into an exclusivity deal with Epic is not someone I want to support.
In the end they are placing money over consumer interests and hoping it works out in their favour.
I personally don't want it to pay off so I'd rather not buy those games.
