I had dual boot with win10 for a while, but when they had that ‘bug’ that was wiping peoples linux partition I dropped Windows completely. As dar as I’m concerned Linux and other FOSS in general has reached a point where it meets the majority of my needs. Same goes for local storage vs needing anything through the cloud or streeaming.

    Every hang up I had eventually got solved. Except with modding games, I sorely miss Vortex or Mod Organizer and there's no alternatives I know of besides doing it all manually.

    That wasn't a showstopper for me though. VR, HDR, Video Games were. These three are solved well enough for my tastes this year to drop my dual boot.

    Fortunately on the modding front, the community's already been cooking:

    I‘m using it for Stardew Valley and it works pretty well. Still early days and a bit clunky to use though. Not any power user features to speak of but I guess that isn’t their target userbase for a mod manager.

    Nexus Mod Manager is working fine under Linux. It's still under development, but i've been modding Cyberpunk 2077 to hell and back with it.

    You're stretching it to say that when the Linux version has extremely limited game support.

    It's literally just CP2077 and Stardew Valley.

    Researching more, I found LIMO:

    And some more ideas here:

    Hopefully LIMO works because the other ideas look like a brittle PITA.

    well, next up is bethesda games support, and development of the app is pretty fast, so i would expect a release supporting skyrim this year. You're right that it's pretty barebones now, but i wanted to say that we linux users will finally have a mod manager on par with the windows side of things, which is pretty awesome!
