If i get lenux what the best 1 for gameing imhave a alienware computer
I also inquired about this, Dell/Alienware does not recommend Linux or these machines.
some of the proprietary drivers Alienware uses specifically are not available in Linux operating systems, Using Wine does not allow the drivers, and the Alienware command center to access the kernel.
If you wish to go Linux, I suggest using a XPS machine instead. But then you will face issues with battle net and Wine. I believe battle.net (Microsoft owned now) will not support their platform on Linux in general.
I would like to drop Microsoft as well, but for your favorite battle net games were suck like chuck.
Ill go windows 7 windows 11 is garbage lots of problems
battle.net is still compatible with windows 7 but, not all games will work. here is a list of games i have personally tested in windows 7: starcraft 1 and 2, warcraft 1 and 2 remastered, world of warcraft, heroes of the storm, diablo 1, 2(even remastered) and 3 and hearthstone. heartstone runs slowly on weaker hardware however.
a hint of advice regarding warcraft 2 remastered: it requires somewhat updated gpu drivers to work. even on my gtx 650 ti boost it runs on low, meaning that you need something stronger than that for optimal settings. though that is not a problem. even 20 series and 30 series have windows 7 drivers.
Correct. Blizzard has never officially supported Linux for their games. They also no longer support MacOS for any of their newer ones. That was well before the Microsoft acquisition and is related to hardware/software issues for game developers on Mac.
i had windows 11 2 upgrades now my 4500 computer starts up 30 seconds goes off i think microsoft ows me a new computer

Incorrect.
Blizzard has made the game and the Software in QT. That is a cross-platform independent Application widget editor designed for Linux. They probably made this in “ZorinOS” or “NixOS” and there infrastructure is on Microsft Azure Linux.
Only due to ‘legal complication’ and ‘support in Linux’ to be ‘unrealistic’ you help yourself because you ‘own’ your system.
You do not get any warrant or protection in a matter Microsoft has legal obligation to provide ‘as is’ in terms software that is made ‘ready for the go’ but has some complications.
The troubleshooting option for as well as Windows as MacOS apply to Linux and has not ‘ended’ but is not ‘needed’ due to allowability and customability of the same spectre between the two. The Question of a ‘support’ for great software which is ‘almost perfected’ is not needed anymore.
You want to get use ChatGPT for other support in your question but be carefull AI can make mistakes.
Yes Linux on Alienware should run. Perfectly.
Battle.net and almost all games should run inside the Wine Box if configured right. This can get messy. Make sure you follow the guidelines for configuring your driver and your alienware PC strictly.
Do not directly use third party compat Layers such as Proton; Protontricks; Lutris or ‘other third party’ that help you run your game. WoW and Battle.net and all other applications will run just like you ‘open the box’ ‘enter the disc’ and ‘click play’ with no hassle at all.
You will face trouble if your device is old and not supported anymore.
Linux will support dual booting with a Windows partition w/o problems but you will have to be reminded Linux boots so fast you have to set a time-out.
Be warned, ‘Battle.net’ app can have some ‘nasty glitches’.
(( I have been playing wow on Linux since around 2008 in the DVD era))
