Linux is waiting for you. You know you want it.

I realize gaming on Linux is already very doable (I have a steam deck), but for me specifically, I need the majority of the mod developers to have shifted over to Linux gaming before I can switch. I primarily play games that tend to be heavily modded and it's really common to need to run some sort of 3rd party tool to mod. One that is often not Linux compatible. I realize there are utilities that can sometimes help with this, but between extremely spotty mod documentation and my own lack of familiarity with Linux, that kind a tricky ask for me to accomplish. I've pretty much given up on playing modded games on my steam deck for now. I hope someday most of the gaming world will switch, but until then I feel somewhat chained to Windows if I want to enjoy my hobby.

Must be a very specific game. Last time i had to run a tool for modding was in Gothic 3. And i think X4 was it, it has a linux version but some mods have Windows paths? Though it would work fine in wine. And Kenshi has a cmd script to fix some data for performance the studio missed, for which some included tools don't run. But that was faster with find and sed anyway.

Btw, most weird tools run fine if you install vcrun (libraries) or dotnet (GUI stuff) via winetricks. wintricks vcrun2022 dotnet48 for the latest.

Windows 11 is beyond fucked and I am sure whatever is following will be even more creep.

Linux is the solution, most just don't realize it yet.
