  • Yea, it ended up not working for wow private, but it should work for retail/cpassic because battle.net worked almost out of the box with bottles. I only needed to change its runner to caffe. After that I could install my other battle.net games (diablo3 and hearthstone) just fine, so I assume wow would work too.

  • This seems promising, but if I may ask how would I do something like this for a private server client (1.12.1)? Also I managed to get battle.net installed through bottles. The only caveat is that I needed to change its runner to caffe latest version.

  • Please do, and let me know if it works with bottles.

  • Tried that but I am now getting the following output:

     
        
    lutris-wrapper: /home/mart/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-24-x86_64/bin/wine
    Started initial process 540064 from /home/mart/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-24-x86_64/bin/wine /home/mart/Downloads/Battle.net-Setup.exe
    Start monitoring process.
    fsync: up and running.
    wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely

    Monitored process exited.
    Initial process has exited (return code: 13568)
    Exit with return code 13568
    
      

    I looked the error code up a bit, and someone suggested in an old post to run the following which I did:

     
        
    WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winetricks --force vcrun2019
    
      
  • I’m a bit tired.

    Same xD

    Do you mean getting it from their website directly? Wouldnt that need me to go through setup? Sorry, im new to wine and especially lutris

  • I just think it’s fascinating to learn about those relationships and think about the things we can’t know

    On that we agree :) If you like language/linguistic content in general, check out this guy. He makes content about old norse and such, its really interesting

  • We literally are related

    Cool, what time should I show up for Christmas dinner in December then? There'd better be lot's of food xD

    If you don't find the fact that we are all technically related irrelevant, you should have no issue with my previous statement :)

    Also, please don't tell me to move along like you're special, I'll move along whenever I feel like it. You don't like it then stop engaging

  • I wasn't attacking you with my comment, but anyway. I do agree there is a relationship and they influenced each other a lot (mostly Greek influencing Latin, not so much in reverse). I was just trying to say that not even linguists claim they are related. I didn't once make the claim that they have nothing to do with each other either.

  • You and I are not related because we share a common ancestor, and no sensible person would make that claim based on that reasoning. We do draw the line somewhere. If you want to define all languages as related because they all comprise of sound and noise that humans make feel free to.

    Also, if you bothered reading not skimming then jumping to conclusions, you would see I linked a couple sources, so you don't actually have to hear it from my mouth.

  • Read my other comments for a more detailed explanation, but the tl;dr of the matter is that while they are both Indo-European languages, each is from a vastly different branch family of the Indo-European language family. The Hellenic and Romance branch families for Greek and Latin respectively.

    Technically they are related, but technically if you go far back enough I am related to you too, however any sensible person would never make the claim that you and I are related simply because we share a common ancestor somewhere along our history.

    Edit: my other comments also have sources, but I don't want to repeat myself once more, so I wont put them here as well. :)

  • No they are not. They are both Indo-European but each is from a completely different branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin stems from the Romance branch, while Greek from the Hellenic branch. Other than their common "ancestor" language group, the only other similarity I can think of/find right now is that Latin did borrow many Greek words due to the Roman's heavy influence from Hellenic culture. However, this doesn't mean that they are at all related.

    Greek itself has myriads of Turkish words due to the Ottoman occupation of the Greek lands (Greece as a nation state did not exist yet at this point if I'm not mistaken) from 1453 until 1821(almost 400 years), however it would be ridiculous to make the claim that Greek and Turkish are related, given that Turkish is an Anatolian language which only shares commonality with Greek due to the fact that they are both Indo-European branch families. Hence, it is ridiculous to make the claim that Latin is related to Greek simply because they borrowed many words.

    So, linguistically speaking both Greek and Latin are from majorly different language families, and we have discussed how you can't make the claim two languages are related simply because they borrow words from each other because of various political/historical reasons.

    You are confidently incorrect.

  • Yes, but you can for the most part understand ancient greek if you know greek. Ancient greek and greek are similar enough for that. Greek and latin are not.

  • Greek is nothing like Latin.

    Greek is my first language and Ive (tried to) read Latin, unsuccessfully, meaning no words maake sense to me when I view them from the perspective of "this word could have this greek word as a root"

    Edit: This should hopefully put a rest to this discussion

  • This one:

    Also i have bunch more from the artist as my lock screen wallpapers, randomly selected

  • I use vimium browser extension as I noticed a large chunk of my mouse usage was on the browser.
