There’s a systemd OOM service that can be setup. I use CachyOS and they have it as a checkbox to turn it on or off.

The website I didn’t know I needed. Thank you!

Retail has become a very tiring roller coaster. Season by season things shift wildly from mega fun, to dog shit. And it makes no sense. The WoW team has to have all the metrics on what people like and don’t like, yet they’ll go double down and try something that was universally hated just 1-2 years ago. The biggest is when they cater to casual players, everyone loves it. So 1-2 seasons later they cater to the hardcore and everyone leaves and the game sucks.

I’ve run it on and off for about 6 months. Just switched to it as daily driver. Absolutely love it. Arch but with automatic x64v3/4, including Wine & Proton?! Sign me up. Which is installed with an fantastic gaming meta package, and I regularly get ~10% FPS boost. Excellent default kernel, too.

I’ve tried all the ways, and Bottles was the easiest by far. Make a bottle for games from the high seas, using bottles’ preset for games. Once created change the wine from Soda to whatever you want or just use Soda.

Then inside the bottle look for install dependencies and grab things like vc redist, and dot net. Once that’s done under the bottles’ UI choice “Run Executable” and chose the .exe for the game’s installer. If it doesn’t work as expected, click the cog/gear and select the checkbox for “Run in Terminal” to see where it goes wrong and search online for what fix is needed.

The only time I had to troubleshoot with terminal, was for a mspatcha.dll problem. It was an easy fix: the bottle has a Legacy Wine Tools > Configuration > Libraries, where I found mspatcha listed, then changed it to “Native then Built in.”

Hope that helps.
