I was in the beta for the original World of Warcraft and restarted when it officially launched. This was 20 years ago, so memory is fuzzy, but somewhere along the way I was playing it in wine exclusively under Linux. Game updates were common and frequently broke wine, but I kid you not a patch was available within 24h. Yes, this forced me to compile my own wine, but it wasn’t that difficult then. Together with “checkinstall” I could maintain a clean .deb package from the source code.

Some links I found in a quick search showing the challenges:

• https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/world-of-warcraft-in-wine-success-485886/
• https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-311551-start-0.html

To be honest, keeping the game running in Linux sometimes felt as a fun side quest!

After that I was mostly able to play all my games in Linux, with some exceptions, obviously, that sometimes required me to install windows.

And the companies are controlled by venture capitalists, who are smart and distribute their investments. So they have interests in various companies, including the real estate companies.

Here, you can thank me later:

Let them be! I deserve a chuckle every now and then :)

Is this why I don’t go to sleep early?

I think that logic is employing the “best of two evils” ideology again. People should vote on the person that better represents them and person C is the one that represents most people. Voting against people they dislike is not the basis of democracy!
