Might enjoy it, but no more so that the demo.
The game launches and plays (apparently) normally. However, the full version has all the limitations of the demo, meaning you only explore a small area near spawn (aka, the insectarium). I have spoke to the developers, and it seems this is likely the result of DRM failing to detect the presence of Steam. They kindly offered a refund but said they would not be looking into this at this time, as they have other priorities (ports and localization). As is, however, while running perfectly in the most basic sense, you cannot currently (as of January 2024) access most of the content or gain any benefit over playing the demo. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the future, either by the developers or by new proton versions, but currently on Linux there is effectively no difference between the full game and demo.
Briefly flashed the splash / pre-game config screen and crashed
It briefly flashed the splash / pre-game config screen and crashed. I tried running it again and the launcher briefly listed Skyrim as running, and then not again (no visible splash screen this time). Interestingly, I have been able to run Skyrim in Linux before by using Wine to run the Windows version of the Steam launcher, but with Proton I simply does work.
