MO2-LINT finally allowed me to natively integrate my Skyrim to Ubuntu. Before, I had to create a non-Steam shortcut to my MO2 with a crucial limitation of jury-rigging “Download via Manager” installs from Nexus. Now, as far as I’m concerned, the overall experience is now as seamless as in Windows.
Background: My MO2 profile was originally from Windows that I last touched in 2020. Ported it to Linux in late 2025 and played it for a few months, then tried getting back into Skyrim in Oct 2026.
I use this. It’s pretty nifty.
The latest update uses a custom compatibility tool that spawns MO2 directly from Steam when you launch the respective game.
I’ve been running this with FO4 and it just works (after the one time CLI run of mo2-lint). Even the creation kit works.
Alternate recommendation (if you’re not already in Mod Organizer), I tried Amethyst Mod Manager recently, and it was fantastic. Full support for everything I used to do in MO2, even Jabberwocky lists. Bonus: it also has support for Thunderstore/BepinEx modded games, it’s a pretty darn impressive Linux-native all in one modding solution.
