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.

It's a very common problem among users who attemped to install Nvidia driver using .run file. To fix it, it's suggested to completely reinstall your system and get drivers from repositories instead.

If you didn't know about this beforehand I would certainly consider this a case of Linux not being better.
