Bah, acronyms.
This repo will guide you through setting up Skyrim Special Edition, Mod Organizer 2, and SKSE on Linux, from absolutely nothing to instant-access desktop shortcuts.
Windows users: you don't need all this, the softwares are built natively for Windows and should work without issue.
MacOS users: this guide isn't for you, but it may work. Don't blame me if things go horribly wrong.
I did put in the effort to write this guide. If you would like me to put in more effort, it might be possible to convince me to write some automation scripts.
That's the mindset you'll need for modding - it can take a lot of work at times, particularly if you use mods which don't have much funding or support.
Go ahead and follow the guide to setting up modding in Skyrim SE.
If you feel comfortable with Linux, the terminal, creating terminal commands, creating .desktop
files, working with the filesystem in bash, and generally are confident in saying you know what
you're doing when it comes to tinkering with Linux, you may prefer to use the
Files for Nerds. Be warned, I will not hold your hand, and I will
not be held accountable for any damage you do to your system.
