Thank you.
For anyone who happens to search and find this thread. I did get it up and running. It works very well after a few tweaks. I would recommend:
- Full Screen (Windowed)
- Set Battle.net to close on game launch
- Set a frame rate maximum either in the game or through MangoHUD or some other method.
The biggest issue I had was when installing the dialog said to not login to HOTS at this time—just cancel. When the language dialog appears, you need to continue through it.
This is on Resolute Raccoon Ubuntu with Gnome and Wayland.
It is exactly as good as it was if you aren’t really competitive. I’m sure at the top end the lack of a large, financially motivated player base must suck. But I am nowhere near the top.
Sometimes iffy electronics will work if you keep them cold. You might try keeping the microwave in a chest freezer—just run a fairly flat extension cord in.
A decade ago, I remember explaining to management why we still had Windows Server 2008 R2 running terminal services with Citrix. Ancient 16-bit applications that needed a 16-bit subsystem!
I spend a lot of time making biscuits. When that recipe gets old try making different versions. Try drop biscuits, use yogurt, add mix-ins. Make a fluffy southern biscuit. Pretend you’re on a cooking show and the challenge is time: make them without measuring. Eat a lot of biscuits!
Five years ago, I felt like ultra-liberal Portland Oregon was awfully vaccine hesitant. I believe it may have shifted as a reaction to Trump 2.0 and Covid, but a lot of what I think of as anti-science still exists. But at least democrats don’t put RFK in charge of vaccines.
I wish I could have gotten my new kettle with metric temps instead. Really jazz up my kitchen.

I just got this excellent cephalopod kettle that additionally heats water to specific temperatures. Saves me from having to add one medium size ice cube to my coffee.
I’ve been putting my tarp over wood directly—didn’t realize I was doing it wrong :)
You just changed how I think about virtual screens. I feel like Khan being unloaded on by Kirk.
I decided long ago that I liked the single monitor with multiple desktops. But in my head they have always been a line of desktops instead of a grid.
Somewhere there is a mathematician who uses a hyper cube array of desktops…
