sincere linux questions

[longpinkytoes]

hello nexus!

i am holding a brand new Skyrim Legendary for MS ($25 amazing deal!)

my computer currently boots to Sabayon but will have other installs later.

i have already joined Sabayon and Skyrim forums and asked a ton of questions,

and the general consensus seems to be that i am unique in wanting to try this.

 

is Wine or virtualBox better for playing Skyrim and learning to use creation kit?

can Wine and Skyrim be on a seperate partition from the OS that is using them?

i will likely have four different installs of linux on their own separate partitions,

i hope i don't need 4 identical copies of Wine, Skyrim, and Steam for each of them.

 

Sabayon comes with Steam Big Picture Mode, so i already have it installed,

can i register for MS Skyrim using linux Steam, or do i need Steam for MS?

if i have to have a MS version of Steam, does it make sense to keep linux Steam,

and can i put MS Steam and Wine on a separate partition from the OS using them?

Either way, you will need a full legal copy of Windows (xp or higher I suppose for the game) and Wine would work. You should be able to "register" on STeam from any PC. AFAIK, you can install Steam and Wine and OS on separate partitions, as long as the format is readable by the booting OS.

hey i meant to say thanks back in april! D:

i have been running steam and skyrim

in wine for around 1000 hours or so

and i'm thinking of going virtuabox. >_<

 

there are all these cool links on my steam page

and when i click on the mod it just goes black

not sure if its just due to lag from running wine

or if steam servers are just totally overloaded.
