How does Skype work for you? I've found it buggy on Linux in the past.
Just peachy. I don't use it too much though.. but for what I need it to do (which is mostly text chat) it works fine.

I realized that I missed one of my most used things. But, MX doesn't have a default open world block building / exploration game.

I always liked the Xiphos Bible program on Linux. Since I generally have a wifi connection I mostly use Bible Gateway now.
One application I don't think I've seen mentioned is Gramps genealogy program. I've used that quite a bit over the years. Generally stable and reliable and does a good job with gedcom files.

theWord has some excellent modules available. My entire setup is free except for donations, and it includes Greek/Hebrew interlinears with Strong's and morphology, which is an awesome way to dig deeper and to learn the language, and several commentaries and dictionaries. The commentaries scroll with the various Bible windows, as do the interlinear window and one Bible window I use to compare about a dozen versions in parallel on the fly. For me it's very much worth the use of Wine.

+1
Bible Analyzer is another one that has a native Linux version that looks really good. However after spending years with theWord on Windows and all the resources I've obtained and made on it, it would be hard to give up, it does everything. It basically the only reason I have Wine. I also like BibleMemorizer, I just wish it was maintained, or that there was a similar program that is.
