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?

      Basically on a scale or 1 to 10 how hard is it to get it running on wine though? That’s what I want to try to find out before buying it. Wine is a more manual approach than using proton but proton only works on games you own on steam.

    LOOT is definitely not anything new. I’m decently confident it’s been a thing for over a decade. To clarify: load order is important to make sure no incorrect files or assets are accidentally overwritten in the course of loading the mods onto the base game, as an incorrect load order can cause a lot of issues.

    Regardless, it looks like there is a Linux compatible flatpak version on flathub. Here’s the GitHub page. I personally can’t say I’ve used LOOT on Linux, though, only on Windows, as my Skyrim modding days came before I made the switch, so your mileage may vary.
