Hello! I'm considering to get Linux on my computer, and do you guys think it would be reasonable easy to start up skyrim at the release date without TOO much work? Does starcraft 2 run easily? Oblivion? and potentially DoTA2? I know it might be difficult to answer about the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but since I think you guys know your sh***. I thought you'd might have an idea :) Best regards; FLUFFY! [Rolling Eyes]

I had the Oblivion Oscuro Overhaul + many other mods and worked all great. One thing that will probably not work is the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) that is necessary for some MODs, none of which I actually needed after all. I had to tweak wine a little bit, but it might not be needed anymore.
