Get a separate drive if you don’t have one already.
Unplug windows drive. Plug in the linux drive for the install.
Install Arch. You can do it the hard way or the easy way, doesn’t really matter. Bonus points if you look through install scripts on github to peek neat tricks you can do.
But really, since you have analysis paralysis the best way to break that would be live analysis of a live install.
So go through the arch installation and wiki every term you come across (not that many, probably far less than your WoW jargon in total)
Learn pacman, probably also yay at some point.
Install KDE, Gnome, hyprland, xfce, whichever Desktop Environment peaks your interest. (You can switch them all out whenever from the log in screen, then just uninstall the ones you don’t like. So whichever you pick first doesn’t really matter other than it werkz.)
After your DE is set up it’s just a matter of installing the software you want.
A web browser and Lutris would probably be your first steps to getting your WoW going.
GL anon.
If you have Nvidia, expect pain. You’re just a second class citizen unfortunately.
Also you probably want to keep that windows drive. Because juggling old key data from it to your linux setup will save you a ton of time, you just don’t know it yet.
