World of Warcraft running with low FPS and seems unstable (reddthat.com)

Is Linux and WoW like oil and water?

I'm running this on a laptop with a 4070. I'm getting like 7fps in something I should be getting in the hundreds of fps with.

Then I rebooted and it's like the whole thing disappeared. I'm not a full linux guy... Yet.

Any advice would be appreciated. I was using Nobara.

It's probably defaulting to the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one. I think if you search this linux gaming on reddit you can find some similar problems with Overwatch and maybe a similar solution will work for WoW.
