Oh absolutely. Also games that had mod managers out the gate worked fine, such as Rimworld. The problem is that I'm not playing Daggerfall or Oblivion all too frequently, hell even New Vegas required a metric fuckton of black magic fuckery and then broke for no reason though that may have been New Vegas being New Vegas. Regardless given how much I mod games and how little support Linux gets from larger mod managers it's probably better for me to deal with Windows 10 and just wait.
Frankly I'm kinda annoyed at having to do this since I actually rather enjoy Mint. I was able to customize that shit more than my Tacoma and that somebitch looks quite a bit different than when I got it, except for the paint.
Is actually my benchmark. Runs better on linux. Getting mods running was slightly easier. Game was moderately less unstable. Was the game i was playing when i switched, so even though it took forever to get working and crashed constantly on linux, id just been through that nightmare on windows, and had close points of comparison.
Like I said it may have just been New Vegas being New Vegas. The problem wasn't getting it working, it was it ratfucking itself about 70 hours into my playthrough for no reason.
No operating system stops that, just changes the number. Found frashes to be fewer and milder on linux.
Yeah New Vegas is relatively easy to get going it's keeping it going that's the problem. Regardless I wouldn't say it's a standard for me for what's modable, for reference I've modded everything from Deus Ex to Arcanum to fucken Jedi Academy which in my experience are the real bastards to get working.
Unless youre using the original version if the os the mod framework was written for, linux/wine/proton or full emu is better than windows.
I have like zero experience with them, but don't games like Fallout have Linux mod managers nowadays?
The only native Linux mod manager I found was Limo, which didn't fucken work for me. Didn't recognize any games besides Dragon Age Origins for some reason and even then it didn't recognize Nexus download links. Also the damned thing felt like some weird hybrid between the old Fallout Mod Manage and the old Nexus Mod manager. Ended up using Steam tinker to run Vortex which was also less than optimal.
