I have it on steam but I realized it’s on gog. Not having to reinstall my mods ever (unless I want to) is worth buying the game again.

How hard is it to run Skyrim special edition on wine? What winetricks modules do I need? Can you actually achieve performance comparable to playing it on proton just using wine and winetricks?

Edit: also, is it still possible to install mainstream Skyrim special edition mods in Linux? Every year, the installation instructions for everything contains more and more windows-only bullshit I have to find ways to circumvent. This time it’s this stupid thing called “LOOT” that hacks the executable to load files in a certain order or some stupid shit. No matter Skyrim mods existed for more than a decade prior and only needed this new thing as of recently.

    Using lutris it should run flawlessly, even with MO2

    Instead of giving money to Bethesda AGAIN you could also remove Steams DRM from your copy of the game with Steamless via Wine

    You need to enable don’t rebase text section or what it’s called to not break SKSE mod support though (not at my computer atm. I can update you on the exact wording later if you want me to)
