From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's similar to the shortcut I mentioned, but wouldn't really solve reaching the corresponding sub folders within the folder structure. It would only work if I'd threw all the mod files in the same folder, and pray that the mod authors never actually rename their mod files and that I never have to remove any specific mod. I tried that once, it wasn't a good idea. :)
Oh yeah, I usually mod games like WoW or w.e. so the file structure lends to it being easily modded.
Yeah, that's as far as I know usually just graphical mods, mostly of the kinky kind.
It gets more complicated when you look at mods that add functionality through script mods, with various mod dependencies, update breakages, etc.
Games like the Sims, or Bethesda RPGs, which are highly moddable and where you install hundreds or even thousands of mods & assets.
