Those trees in the distance (LOD Trees) are hallucinations created by your dwindling sanity as you try to squeeze +2 fps. When you go near them they simply plop out of existence.
Also my game looked worse than this. Interestingly the Xbox360 version of the game not only looked better. but actually ran at a smooth 30 fps.
Your biggest boost will probably be from reducing the resolution, and making sure that you are using dxvk or Gallium Nine, DO NOT USE WINED3D which is basically the default state of wine. Gallium Nine was so easy to install when Mesa 24 was compiled with it enabled, now Mesa 25 stopped compiling Gallium Nine so you have to compile Mesa 1.24.x yourself and enable Gallium Nine support. I tried but for the life of me it wouldn’t fucking compile.+
In the end, I modded Skyrim more than I played it.
