The Battle.net Launcher can be installed and launched via wine, which works pretty well. To play most of its games a recent wine-staging version is recommended.
Setup
Tested on nixos-unstable with wine-staging 5.22 and found to be working with World of Warcraft 9.0.2:
users.users.youruser.packages = with pkgs; [ (wineWowPackages.full.override { wineRelease = "staging"; mingwSupport = true; }) (winetricks.override { wine = wineWowPackages.staging; }) ];
Create a 64-bit wine prefix and enable DXVK support.
export WINEARCH=win64 export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-battlenet winetricks dxvk
Download the Battle.net-Setup.exe
from https://www.blizzard.com/apps/battle.net/desktop and install it by executing
wine64 Battle.net-Setup.exe
Follow the installation and upon completion login in with your Battle.net Id or create one.
The Launcher should now start up and allow you to install and launch games.
