Thanks for this! I was wanting to give Skyrim/Fallout a go again now that I’m fully moved to Linux, and this seems like a much better way than what I myself commented in here.

This entirely. Skyrim/Fallout with mods is a fickle mistress. Once you have her going, don’t even think about touching her again unless you want to further frustrate yourself!

This may not entirely help you if you don’t have a Windows drive (I dual boot when needed, especially for modding my games easily on Windows and then moving the files over to Linux after testing it works in Windows) but:

• Log into Windoze
• Install your game if it isn’t (Quick Tip: If you do have Windows and Linux on separate drives, you don’t have to download the entire game again. Drag the game over to the correct folders you would have on Windows, then go to download the game. It will see the files and fetch anything you still need)
• Run the game at least once to make sure your files are created and whatnot (SkyrimPrefs.ini or whatever it is called)
• once at the main menu, download any of the anniversary edition stuff if you have them
• Use Nexus Mods modding tool Vortex and use a Collection (NOTE: If you do not have a Premium account, you can use any other program like Mod Organizer 2 or whatever if you want, I have only ever used Vortex, sorry. :/ )
• Let the mod managers do their thing
• Once all the mods from the Collection/s are installed, start the game on Windows and make sure you can get in game at least (Not all mods/Collections are created equally!)
• Log back into Linux and use your preferred File Manager program to go into your Windows drive (Mine is called basic something, I’m away from my computer right now) and move the whole game folder over to your proper Linux folder for your Steam games
• Test
• Hopefully profit?

You’re not dumb! Thank you for the heads up!

While I appreciate the honesty, you are coming off as a jerk.

This is my first time doing anything like this. I don’t normally do anything like this at all. It is a little side thing to have fun learning something new. Most of what you are talking about isn’t even something I am remotely aware of.

I’d be more interested to learn about MediaWiki from you if you hadn’t come off as such a jerk. I stated in the body of the post that I’m using it offline and for personal use. I have also just started, again, as stated in the body.

I appreciate your view, but I recommend coming at a different angle the next time you want to share your knowledge of something you are clearly passionate about.

I’ve never developed or anything like that. Just fiddled around with HTML, CSS, and markdown before. Can you explain the upsides to the git structure? I’ve never used it, so I’m interested to know from someone who has used it!

I see! I believe this is my first time ever using anything that needed a database, so I’m not really keen to any downsides of a database structure. It does make sense to keep them simple like that, so I will take that into account if I ever feel like simplifying it!

There are a few options when creating a new page, markdown, RAW HTML, etc. So to make it easy on myself I’ve just been using the HTML for easy import of the wikis I’m interested in.

Yeah, I noticed that when you choose a format, it’s that format or delete and start over with the new format. That would be a neat feature at least, but I can see the troubles of properly reformatting the file into the new format you want. Luckily, I’m just using it for giggles and a little bit of learning! Haha!

What made you choose docuwiki over Wiki.js? I saw dokuwiki, but preferred the sleeker design of Wiki.js, but I know that’s just a personal preference! Is there a function in docuwiki that you were really interested in?

I’ve added a screenshot to the main post of what it looks like after I did a reformat of the content from the Stardew Valley Wiki. I highly recommend it so far!

I got a Dell computer that was headed for the dump from someone, installed TrueNAS Scale on it, and it has actually replaced my Synology for everything other than straight up storage. Now the Synology does the storage, and everything else is in TrueNAS. It did take me a few lookups to understand the permissions on TrueNAS, as Synology is much easier to set up in that regard. I like the fine grain permissions controls, sure, but it was definitely not user friendly to a complete noob like Synology was.
