I took the plunge during the holiday interregnum.
A lot of stuff was stunningly simple, some frustrating hiccups/learning experiences here and there but I think all the games I checked are working.
I still have to do some work to figure out how to get mods working (not usually a dealbreaker but I've heard they really improve Fallout NV and I've been itching to try it) but goddamn it feels awesome to finally leave windows!
Mod Organizer 2 works great on Linux. It's a bit trickier to install due to the way Proton works, but there is an installer for it.
Modding manually is a breeze, it's when you need different sorts of managers or script extenders that it can get a bit wonky. Welcome to the party!
