My work pc runs OpenSUSE with the latest NVidia drivers.
What I can tell you is this, WoW works, but the performance is far below that of Windows on the same hardware. IE. In in Windows on my gaming pc I get 150fps easy, same location settings everything, just Linux it goes down to 30fps. This is on a XFX 8800GTS Fatality card (factory overclocked basically).
Everything else work, had a few hiccups with permissions being wrong so some addons didn't work, and the other thing is, the animation of my character get stuck when I move forward, have to tap forward 2 times to get it to go away, so there is that irritating thing, and I completely blame that on the stock Wine.
