So if I understand this correctly:

The games files inside the game folder are the same, therefore when you apply/load a mod into the gamefolder it works the same correct?

If thats the case, this is the straw that makes me migrate to Linux. I currently have AMD CPU and GPU (because fuck nvidia, even if AMD is not that much better) and from my understanding they should have good drivers in Linux

the biggest difference to Windows gaming is that for Windows games on Linux played via Proton every game gets its own Proton/Wine prefix (basically a windows folder structure)
ifyou want to use mod manager you need to run them inside the game specific proton prefix

Steam Tinker Launcher simplify this process
