Been on Ubuntu for a bit over a year now.

Steam works great, and LibreOffice has been good enough to get the job done. I run Google Earth Pro and Sketchup in Wine, even World of Warcraft runs quite well in Wine.

I had a ton of issues with Wine until I found PlayOnLinux. Things still don't quite 'just work' -- but I've been able to use way more than I could before I found it.

KSP and WoW are my two big games, and they both work fine.

I had never heard of PlayOnLinux until now. Installed - thanks for the tip!

KSP and Rimworld are my two big games, at least KSP will be again when I get a replacement video card.

Np. I messed around for a bit till I found it also. I'm surprised it didn't pop up on my radar previously. It's really helped me a ton with getting things working under Ubuntu.

I haven't played Rimworld yet. Might have to go check it out.

I've found TerraTech recently but I've had about as much fun as I can have with it until they fix some more things.

You're in luck - you don't even need wine for either of those games since they're Linux-native.

Ironically, WoW on linux through wine runs better and with a significantly better latency compared to Windows.
