Thank you very much for Linux help! I will start with Druid HalfLing and some other time I may try Monk as second class.
About Linux, on one computer game crashes at login, will redo everything, probably too many different wine stuff installed (mono, gecko, staging, HQ... didn't know what I was doing i have better idea now, I only need official wine)
On another computer I got to log in OK and I did overwrite files with latest patch v53 as I should, but I'm getting error about spell files outdated. But I tried so many things that I must of messed something up, will redo everything, I'm glad it is not that hard.
One quick question. Can you run *.bat file under wine? If yes, would: "wine start something.bat" work? (so I can maybe later install/add some cosmetic stuff)

First, in my experience, most/all "failure to run" issues on Linux boil down to your WINE version, or the version of your graphics card drivers. If something doesn't work, keep playing around with different versions of those, including both the proprietary and open source graphics drivers (different ones work better for different people). Also, you can try running winecfg, and changing the checkboxes on the interface tab about controlling windows and emulating a virtual desktop.
Second, when it says your spell files are outdated, that's because you haven't patched with the latest patch from P99 (there's always a link to the latest on the front page of the site).
Third, I don't know about batch files, but you don't need them or the Linux equivalent (a .sh file). You can just make a shortcut for "wine eqgame.exe patchme" ... or you can make the .sh file Izmael suggested.
And finally, while it's not Linux specific,
https://wiki.project1999.com/Getting%20Started has a good overview of the whole process.
