Play on Linux is a wrapper for Wine to play Windows games and applications on Linux

Play On Linux manages all your Wine prefixes and other Wineisms so that running Windows applications and games is as easy as possible.

POL isn't really affiliated with the Wine project, and doesn't attempt to re-engineer Wine or anything like that. It is literally a GUI on top of your Wine prefixes to make it easier to manage them.

Wine stands for Wine is not an emulator, and runs on pretty much any distro of Linux, including Ubuntu.

Lutris is another application that can install and launch Wine games for you but Lutris is more of a game launcher, whereas Play On Linux is more of a game manager.

In this video, I tested out Skyrim and Star Wars Old Republic. I had some clips of Guild Wars 2 but they didn't make the cut. Skyrim was a little bit buggy, GW2 was a little bit choppy, but Star Wars was pretty much flawless.
