I still technically dual boot with Windows, but I didnt boot it for months now,
The biggest stumbling block I had was gaming, but frankly it kinda is smooth sailing on Linux nowadays, I even got Escape from Tarkov to run on my machine, which wasnt really guaranteed, and I don't have any problem using Steam (or GOG through Lutris)
I will probably just completely get rid of Windows in the future
I've been using Fedora 40 (KDE spin) for a few months now. I am very impressed with how stable and fast it's been on my budget several-years-old all-intel laptop with only 8GB RAM. I did got the notification about Fedora 41 being available but I'm one of those weirdos who hangs back a full release for at least a few months (regardless of distro) for stability reasons.
i have been wondering if running vortex, the nexus mods client through Lutris would make getting those 2500 mod collections feasible again it would mean that you'd need the game in the Lutris system too, otherwise it wont find the game though.
yeah, but you can't get the collections that are hosted on nexus. Would need to use the wabbajack lists and I don't know if that works with linux either
Linux native vortex
yeah i saw that, hopefully it'll be better than the current program is tbh, everything has been made so safe that you can't configure things in easy ways anymore. Skyrim load order changing is a pain with all the rules that you have to place, instead of MO2 with just "click and drag"
STOP TRYING TO INSTALL COPILOT
Why I switched to Fedora earlier this year,

I had an easier time getting fonv to run smoothe on Linux than I did on windows 8.
And 11's compatibility is even worse.
also this will be useful

I indeed made good use of this thread

I've had better luck with MO2, though the replacement for Vortex will be linux native

You can move collections to MO2 from Vortex with the Mod Manager Migrator.
There has also been some success in using wabbajack in linux
Thank youuuuu
more links into my ever expanding linux bookmark folder 
You probably would need to run it in the same prefix as the game you're trying to mod
It's worth a shot at least
