Skyrim on Linux

[XDroidie626]

I have skyrim+dawnguard but I only have a digital copy of the game, I don't have a disk version so how can I install it via PoL or Wine?

 

Thanks

You can play it PoL or Wine. All I do is install Wine and it is ready to go. But PoL will make it all relatively automatic.

 

PoL:

WINE:

or my personal favorite for WINE that seems to work for most people:   http://www.steamgamesonlinux.com/skyrim-the-elder-scrolls-v/

 

I tried PoL and I did get it to run just fine, but I saw a performance dip in comparison to WINE so I would personally suggest the later. But you can always try both. Easy to install, easy to remove.

how well does it perform under Wine or PoL? any stuttering or anything?

I just want to stay on Linux but run Skyrim as I am really getting into it again lol
