…is so unbelievably good. It took a bit of fucking about, and asking stupid questions of the dev but I finally got both my versions of Skyrim SE/AE installed and modded. The Steam version is for a “normal” playthrough, while the GOG version is modded to play in the Shattered world.

If you’re thinking of moving to Linux now that Winblows is so bloated with spyware and shite, but have been hesitating because you’re a gamer, then do it because everything is in place to finally beat Microslop in the retail computing market.

Oh and this link will take you to the Nexus to download and get help with Amethyst Mod Manager.

…you are now dead to me!

After weeks and weeks and weeks of futile attempts to get this fucking program to install and run on Linux, I have finally given up and sent it to Oblivion.

For, you see, something better has come along. Folks, I present: Amethyst Mod Manager. A native Linux mod manager that works along the lines of MO2 but actually works a thousand times better.

As an example of what I mean, MO2 makes you manually install SKSE into the Skyrim directory, whereas Amethyst allows you to install automatically the way you do every other mod. Same goes for Part 2 of the Engine Fixes that required you to manually drop the files into the Skyrim directory–Amethyst does it for you.

Of course, in Windows this is a much easier procedure than it would be in the psycho circus that is Linux, so thank fuck sanity prevailed with that decision.

So anyway, apologies to anyone who may have kept an eye out for the promised Mod Organizer 2 tutorial I was writing–and I was writing it and taking screenshots to illustrate procedures–but that all got lost when I deleted my Windows partitions and switched to Linux full time.

It should be noted that on every site that recommends CachyOS for gaming, they neglect to mention that it doesn’t actually include any of the programs you need to fucking play games. Steam wasn’t installed by default. Proton wasn’t installed by default. Lutris, Hero, or anything that helps Windows users acclimatise to gaming on Linux was not fucking installed. FPS and optimised this that and the other is pointless if the newbie has to jump through 10 dozen hoops to install and play their favourite fucking game.

Didn’t see it mentioned anywhere, so only found out after loading the live boot but it should be stated in big letters right at the beginning that Bazzite DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHER LINUX DISTROS. Yeah, you read that right. I have Cachy and Tumbleweed installed, and wanted to try Bazzite but was told it cannot be installed alongside any other Linux distro but you can dual boot with fucking Windows. How fucking shit is that?

The amazing David Hartley does it again. A breakdown of the recording of Bohemian Rhapsody, that features the stunning individual vocal tracks of Freddie, displaying fully that he truly was an incredible singer. It’s just over 21 minutes long but enthralling throughout.
