1) My screen was incredibly choppy (even on the lowest settings).
Things were substantially better after I used winetricks to install: run3.site/
I mention this to hopefully help remind myself if I have to re-install world of warcraft, at a later date. If someone can point me in the proper direction of how to install those two programs through wine, I can write a script and at least post it here in the comments.
2) I believe it might be useful to note, in the scripts provided on this page, to add a comment that you should run wine in 64 bit mode (it was not obvious to me and I ended up running wine and it made a 32-bit .wine container (which becomes a problem as blizzard phases out 32-bit)). (The scripts are in BASH, as I am sure I am using some Bash specific scripting...maybe...)
The script I run to install the blizzard client is (hopefully, this gets executed only once):
export WINEARCH=win64
mywinedirectory="/home/username/wine-dirs/wine32-build/"
myclientdownload="/home/username/Downloads/World-of-Warcraft-Setup.exe"
${mywinedirectory}/wine "${myclientdownload}"
The script I run to run world of warcraft is (which, if all works well, gets executed a lot...):
export WINEARCH=win64
mywinedirectory="/home/username/wine-dirs/wine32-build/"
mywowinstalldirectory="/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft/"
${mywinedirectory}/wine "${mywowinstalldirectory}/Wow.exe"
