Every hang up I had eventually got solved. Except with modding games, I sorely miss Vortex or Mod Organizer and there's no alternatives I know of besides doing it all manually.
That wasn't a showstopper for me though. VR, HDR, Video Games were. These three are solved well enough for my tastes this year to drop my dual boot.
Fortunately on the modding front, the community's already been cooking:

Nexus Mod Manager is working fine under Linux. It's still under development, but i've been modding Cyberpunk 2077 to hell and back with it.
You're stretching it to say that when the Linux version has extremely limited game support.
It's literally just CP2077 and Stardew Valley.

Researching more, I found LIMO:

And some more ideas here:

Hopefully LIMO works because the other ideas look like a brittle PITA.
well, next up is bethesda games support, and development of the app is pretty fast, so i would expect a release supporting skyrim this year. You're right that it's pretty barebones now, but i wanted to say that we linux users will finally have a mod manager on par with the windows side of things, which is pretty awesome!
