I’m just here to say to all the people here saying to follow a simple tutorial and everything is sunshine and rainbows on the Deck to go away forever.
I’ve been using various Linux distros or a flavor of BSD as my main driver OS for twenty years and just the endeavor to install simple Skyrim mods on the Steam Deck drives me insane.
I spent the entire month of July trying to unsuccessfully install Gate to Sovngarde mod collection and gave up because it almost becamea full-time job after my real job just trying to troubleshoot. One try in Windows in less than an hour wait and I’m playing it fine.
Sometimes it’s fine to yell to the world “fuck Linux”
Yeah fuck the system created by people in their free time for free^^
Not the corpos that still exclusively develop for windows or the mod devs not willing to think about other platforms and building unportable shit that will only work in a narrow set of environments.
Seriously tho, expecting any random mod to work on a system the OG game wasn’t even built for seems pretty insane to me :D
Like, the fucking game works. That in itself is a marvel of engineering
