    I recommend either Wrye Bash or MO2.

    Limo.

    https://github.com/limo-app/limo

    Its linux native, available as a flatpak.

    Vortex is a shitshow, the NexusMods people have no idea how to write anything for linux.

    I was able to use Limo to fully do a FONV, Viva New Vegas setup, uh, 2 years ago now.

    As well as mod Cyberpunk 77 with it.

    You have to actually RTFM though, but its a versatile and very useful tool once you figure it out.

    I got it working and modded the hell out of Skyrim and Fallout 4 with Steam Tinker Launch.

    Download Steam Tinker Launch and then get MO2. Should be pretty straightforward from there.

        Just have to download the required bits. What distro are you using?

            Should be able to download the required things through the package or software manager. You’d look up the repo for yad and add what you see. Sorry if this isn’t the most efficient or professional, I’m used to using it on CachyOS but the gist is the same.

                It’ll be alright. It’ll all work out. Sorry I can’t be of further assistance but I’m sure some others will jump on in due time.

    Vortex is actually supposed to release a version supporting Linux this year according to a recent blog post, though I know that doesn’t help now, but it’s supposed to be coming soon. Looks like they have a preview available for download, though it has limited game support.
