Has anyone played Skyrim special edition on gog? (lemmynsfw.com)

I have it on steam but I realized it's on gog. Not having to reinstall my mods ever (unless I want to) is worth buying the game again.

How hard is it to run Skyrim special edition on wine? What winetricks modules do I need? Can you actually achieve performance comparable to playing it on proton just using wine and winetricks?

Edit: also, is it still possible to install mainstream Skyrim special edition mods in Linux? Every year, the installation instructions for everything contains more and more windows-only bullshit I have to find ways to circumvent. This time it's this stupid thing called "LOOT" that hacks the executable to load files in a certain order or some stupid shit. No matter Skyrim mods existed for more than a decade prior and only needed this new thing as of recently.

I use the latest wine-staging (which you can get from winehq), and that runs Skyrim SSE just fine on my system. You will need MO2 if you want to use mods, but that installs in wine as well.
