I hate Windows. I hate Microslop. I've hated them forever. Not using Windows helps, but I still have to deal with the consequences of everyone else using it!

What I hate most is people absolutely terrified of a *nix terminal, while willing to work around Windows problems via command prompt or messing with the goddamn fucking registry, which is just bloody ridiculous, why not just use fucking config files... but that's a rant for another time - and people looking at this kind of chatbot interface like cutting edge modern technology when it's actually just a CLI that doesn't fucking work. We had these at the dawn of personal computing, except that those ones worked and gave the same response to the same command every time! Look, I don't like using a terminal either, but at least be honest and consistent about it, people.

Hell yeah sicko-tux

the only complication I've had is modding Fallout 4 being a bit more complicated

Nexus Mod Manager is coming to Linux, so it should be easier in the future. There's also a Linux native mod manager called Limo, which I used for Skyrim, but its a bit of pain to setup correctly. Mod managers for Thunderstore hosted mods, like Gale Mod Manager and r2modman are great under Linux.

https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer for Bethesda games is the easiest and cleaner solution that I found.

MO2 is great, but I think when I tried it years ago there were some issues that made it kind of annoying. I think steamtinkerlaunch should make it easy to use it too.

I linked to the wrong repo LUL.

I updated with the right one, it's a script to install and use it without needing to deal with winetricks, wineprefix and everything. So it's easier to use it then installing with steamtinkerlaunch.

Oh that's super cool, I'll take a look, thanks!
