Skyrim on Ubuntu

Skyrim on Ubuntu

I've been trying to get Skyrim running through Steam on Wine on Ubuntu 16.04. I've had little luck with PlayOnLinux, and opted to use Wine 2.0 and set it up myself instead. I can't get it to run fullscreen, it'll only run as a non-resizable window as in the picture here I've set bFullScreen to 1 in SkyrimPrefs.ini. Is there somehthing I'm missing? I've played 73 minutes of Skyrim and never gotten past the front page cause it won't fullscreen and I'm a little desperate. Thanks.

When going Steam with PlayonLinux the ini file to use is located at SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/SkyrimPrefs.ini where SteamLibrary is the folder where you installed the Game at.
