Got a sad email from the maintainer of one of the linux addon updaters. Please let me know if this works for you. Warning: DO NOT add dotnet46 to your WoW prefix as it’ll break Battlenet. The only difference is you need to point the addon manager to the WoW folder in the appropriate prefix by going through z:/ drive. Then it essentially runs like on windows. WINEPREFIX=~/path_to_32bit_wineprefix wine ~/Downloads/TwitchSetup.exe Let that install and then run the setup file within that prefix with WINEPREFIX=~/path_to_32bit_wineprefix winetricksĪnd install the dotnet46 component by clicking ‘select the current wine prefix’ then ‘install a Windows DLL or component’. Then, assuming you have winetricks installed, do So, follow these instructions to create the prefix: Then download and install the windows setup file and run it with within that prefix. Just create a new 32 bit wine prefix, then run winetricks to install dotnet46 (it may run well in newer versions of dotnet but that’s the one I used). This situation has remained the same through the last 10 years. I don’t know about present Curse but the people who ran the site well before Twitch and the people running WoWInterface are ok with Linux users running their own non-commercial updaters but not with WoWMatrix creating revenue out of their efforts. This is not much about donations or author payments but about infrastructure. WoWInterface does the same without a big commercial backer (just 3 guys keeping it up).
I’m not very fond of Curse since they joined with Twitch but for years they provided huge hosting services for addons (the user is only seeing the forefront of it) and they still do to some extent. No addon author should have to request their addon to be taken out of that business scheme, WoWMatrix should ask first. Whenever those other sites tried to defend themselves against that leeching WoWMatrix found ways around it. They don’t host addons, they don’t provide developers support, no forum, no nothing - they leech download bandwidth other sites pay for and monetarize this leeching.
The situation with WoWMatrix hasn’t changed at all.
