Wine from the main repo. Downloaded the installer from their weitbse and opened it with wine  wine wowinstaller.exe. Process went through normally and once it was finished I ran wow using the shortcut it created on the desktop for me. I did try running it in opengl mode by starting the launcher with the -opengl option. However I get an error and have presumed this is due to lack of support in hardware for some function it needs.
