I've been using Linux for work mostly, I'm very new to using Linux, I mean it has been a matter of days of using it. I'm learning how to use it quite well now, in my opinion, but I have no idea how much more I have to learn, and to be honest, I hope that there is a hell of a lot more, I enjoy finding new things in Linux.
Anyway, I haven't tried gaming in Linux yet, could you guys suggest any games that work well in Linux or any games that would run well through wine, in Linux, it kinda sucks that something like Skyrim apparently runs badly, because I love Skyrim, Oblivion and ESO, I'm a big fan of the Elder Scrolls games. I've heard there's a few texture problems and quite a few colour problems running Skyrim through wine, in Linux.
From my experience, most Blizzard games run well with Wine. Neverwinter Nights installs natively in linux if you read around on how to get it done ... And Steam is available with a growing catalogue of games that run Linux + Cross Platform. You can also fire up the package manager and search for games in there that are native to linux, some of them are actually amazing.
I've heard that Valve games run well, but Blizzard, I'm surprised at that to be totally honest. But I am aware that Steam is developing a growing catalogue of games that are compatible with Linux, I hope they find a way to make all of the games on their store compatible, that would be a dream come true.
Makes sense to me. Everything is still 32 bit in Windows world, save for the OS itself and really demanding productivity apps. Example, MS still recommends running office 2016 in 32bit mode for stability.
The Witcher 2 is fantastic (if you haven't already played it), KOTOR 2 is a must, The Elder Scrolls run great in Wine granted you forfeit mods, Fallout 3/NV runs fine in Wine, Gmod is the best, can't forget Left4Dead either.
GOG has also a ton of cool linux releases: Since you named Skyrim perhaps you'd be interested in Pillars of Eternity and/or Hand of Fate. As @Raate says, Blizz games run fine and without tinkering. I have logged a few hundred hours of Hearthstone without any hitches, running fullscreen and at solid 60fps.
I know it's not a healthy practice but I'm running several games with the vanilla wine provided by fedora 22 (which supposedly is tweaked for better DX9 performance) and except for the dumb Warframe launcher that gets stuck, everything else works just fine, even without delving into winetricks and bottles/prefixes.
