    Do it. I only use Windows to play my heavily modded copy of Skyrim and now Starfield. Everything else has been Linux for years.

      I have been playing both of those on proton with little issue, and I’m not positive that the issues I experienced are exclusive to linux.

        Using ModOrganizer2 to launch a Windows game from Steam using Proton is a massive pain in the ass, I’ve tried to set it up a few times before. I finally got it to work correctly, where it would actually run the game with ENB, and I was getting 15 FPS on an RTX 2080 Super and Ryzen 7 5900.

        Also trying to get all the other programs like DynDoLOD and xEdit to work with MO2 was a pain as well.

      I was using Mint for a while but the system got hosed. I plan on modding Starfield, and there was another game I can’t recall that wouldn’t work on Linux. After I best Starfield I fully expect to wipe my system again and go with a more stable distro of Linux (e.g. Gentoo or something).

        They work fine unmodded (AFAIK) it’s just a pain getting them to work through MO2 along with other things.
