If you really want to play wow that's cool and all. But play in on mac or windows. Linux is a very stable OS. BUT it's not meant for gaming. Anyway...Wine is really sucky. Had alot of issues with it. Anyway...if it works...see you on the battlegrounds.... Gay post lol! If you really want to play wow that's cool and all. But play in on mac or windows. Linux is a very stable OS.
