I had heard of Jazz 2 Resurrection, I just wasn't too sure how far along it was. I know the Jazz2 community still prefers JJ2+, but I didn't research the reasons why. (For online play everyone uses JJ2+ for example)

Linux installation is also pretty easy, you just get the .AppImage version, extract the game files, and add to Steam as a non-Steam game.

If you've got the latest patch from Blizzard, it shouldn't require the CD/DVD to play, as Blizzard removed the CD check in patch 1.21b.

Wouldn’t mind the installation, but want to play without DVD attached.
