Addon Devs: How do you handle dependencies/libs in your development environment?
Also, GitHub repos can use https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager instead of curseforge release system to get their dependencies, publish to various sites, and support multiple versions of the game.

What Addon Manager should I use?
Same here. All the addons I've developed are on Wago, Wowinterface, and GitHub, as well as Curse. It's super easy these days to deploy to all three places at once using the BigWigs Packager so the day Overwolf pulls the plug on WowUp my addons should just be transitioned to being downloaded from Wago (if enabled) or Wowinterface (if not).

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
