Hi, I a bit late to the party, but I think I can share some of my experiences with Poser under Linux. I use Linux Manjaro and Wine, because Manjaro is like it's big brother Arch Linux a rolling release, so you are always getting the latest versions of the programs and kernels. I tested PP2014, P11 and P12 on Linux. PP2014 runs almost like under Windows, there are some minor inconveniences with the File Browser, it didn't show thumbnails which makes it difficult to search for textures in the materials room. Adobe Flash is not a problem, simply start the library as a separate window and Adobe Air kicks in. P11 is a different animal. You have to install several Dll files via wine tricks before it runs. Everything works fine, except the Firefly Render engine, it's not working at all. P12 runs one single time. After a restart there is a error message mentioned a problem beyond my capabilities.
