How is modding Bethesda games on Linux nowadays? (lemmy.ca)

Years ago I tried modding Fallout New Vegas and I think 4 on Fedora ages (I was running Fedora 28 at the time) ago using Mod Organizer 2 and it wouldn't work for reasons I didn't understand, possibly file system related. I'm thinking of switching to Pop! OS full time but I'd still like to play either modded Skyrim or FO4 from time to time, preferably using MO2.

I've never used MO2, but with Vortex its a pain in the dick. Gotta manually download the games yourself, individually, then drag them into vortex to install them, or just dump them in the game directory appropriately if you don't care about being able to reverse it without a reinstall.

Yeah, just install MO2 in the same wine prefix and it works fine, from what I recall.
