UPDATE 2021 March
EU now works pretty much out-of-box with Wine 6.x. It's advised to install and use dxvk for better performance if your GPU is supported.
You may encounter clipboard issue with 64-bit client which can be fixed as described here.

I recently picked up EU on Linux again, and I thought I'd resurrect this thread to give an update.
My setup is still the same as before: ASUS K53SV with integreted Intel HD Graphics 3000 and NVIDIA GT540M (Optimus), using wine-staging 1.7.54.
Now I'm running EU with the integrated chipset, on a 64-bit wineprefix with 32-bit client; you also need
as well as the aforementioned WINED3D_BUFFER_DOUBLEBUFFER patch for CE2 games to work (You don't need the patch if you enable CSMT in wine-staging). I tried to hunt, mine and travel through space via MS and it all worked without problems.
Running EU on 32-bit wineprefix doesn't work for me, neither does it work with the NVIDIA graphics card over bumblebee and NVIDIA's propriety driver. However, I did manage to make it work with the open source nouveau driver and PRIME, but the performance is only on par with the Intel.
Enabling CSMT on wine-staging works nicely and should provide a performance boost.
Still, whether EU works still heavily depends on your exact hardware setup. I'm wondering if someone using ATI/AMD cards can provide some feedback, as their open source driver is improving very nicely these days.
