Nexus Collections for ?
With so many mods that do not support linux or MacOs I was wondering is there a way to filter supported mods by system? Or would a "Linux" collection be the best method? Not trying to do anything major, just curious.

Generally the windows built files work fine for other Operating Systems. So many people don't bother to build for all OS' specifically. I've only started building for all 3 major ones recently because I have had OS specific bug reports in the past, and would like to try to avoid those if possible.

That's right, only some resource types (like shaders) are not portable.Magicono43 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 4:41 pm Generally the windows built files work fine for other Operating Systems. So many people don't bother to build for all OS' specifically.
So, if a mod only exists for Windows, try it under your OS, and in case of issue (say magenta textures in case of shaders), complain
Actually, I think it could be worth also reporting success, mentioning the version tested, for information to the mod author, and fellow gamers.
