- I’m interested in trying Linux

Curseforge, World of Warcraft addon updater, has a Linux appimage version out; without overwolf too.
The tool I use, Strongbox, supports a number of other addon distribution platforms. It's definitely a loss of compatibility, but I'm fortunately not invested enough in any of the few dozen that I'm not willing to just dump addons that aren't supported.
- Official CurseForge-App (WoW only) now available!

Is there a single person...even one...playing world of Warcraft...or any other blizzard game on Linux?
I haven't run the game in a while but I still develop a wow addon manager specifically for linux users (also works on macs): https://github.com/ogri-la/strongbox

There it is. My life’s come full circle. #HordeLife
Haven't tested it on SteamOS but on my normal Linux PC I use Strongbox as addon-manager. I like it more than curse and minion that I used back in the windows days.

How to release an Clojure app?
I use an AppImage. I build a custom JRE and an uberjar and then bundle them together into an AppImage. Script here: https://github.com/ogri-la/strongbox/blob/develop/build-linux-image.sh

World of Warcraft, I recommend you use "strongbox" to manage your addons (it works with curse for install/update) -> https://github.com/ogri-la/strongbox

Amazon Prime Video Will Start Showing Ads on January 29
You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

WoW Season of Discovery freezes on every honorable kill!
Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Lutris how to make Nvidia primary Gpu
Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:
* https://lutris.net
* https://github.com/lutris/lutris
It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).
