When I say they don't work very well, I don't mean that they didn't work at all. I found ways around it such as using SteamTinkerLaunch to install nexusmod's vortex mod manager, and finangling shit to get it to find the games and do the automatic mod installations. I got a 90gb skyrim mod collection installed that way, but actually playing the game afterward produced some pretty awful framerate issues. I reached out to the collection's author on discord and he said there is no way my rig should have any problem whatsoever. So I went back and did the windows vm thing, reinstalled all the stuff, and he was right, it runs locked at 120fps without a single hiccup in windows. Proton doesn't always work as well as windows for certain things, but for most everything else it does.
