## What it is
MO2-LINT is a Python-based CLI installer that automates setting up Mod Organizer 2 on Linux, including Proton setup, NXM handler registration, and per-game compatibility workarounds. It supports multiple MO2 instances across many games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur's Gate 3.

## Use cases
- install mod organizer 2 on linux
- set up skyrim modding on linux with proton
- make nexus mods mod manager download button work on linux
- manage multiple MO2 instances for different games
- install SKSE or F4SE alongside Mod Organizer on Linux
- automate MO2 setup for Steam or Heroic games
- fix Proton/Wine quirks for modding Fallout 4 or Cyberpunk

## When to choose
- You're on Linux and want a fully automated Mod Organizer 2 setup with minimal manual steps
- You mod Steam or Heroic (GOG/Epic) games and want NXM link handling and launch options wired up automatically
- You need per-game compatibility fixes and optional script extender/plugin/theme installation

## When to avoid
- You're on Windows or macOS - MO2-LINT is Linux-only
- You use Lutris or other launchers, which are unsupported
- You want a GUI installer or a Global (non-Portable) MO2 installation
