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.

Basically on a scale or 1 to 10 how hard is it to get it running on wine though? That's what I want to try to find out before buying it. Wine is a more manual approach than using proton but proton only works on games you own on steam.

you can use proton with any game.
