This guide only covers getting the Modlist running. It does not cover downloading the Modlist via Wabbajack, or how to copy the Modlist to your Steam Deck/Linux system. The official AVO entry from Wabbajack will not run on Linux - this is due to the version of MO2 used (2.5.0) which is not yet functional via Proton. Instead, Althro has provided me with an alternative .wabbajack file for a Linux-specific build using a compatible version of MO2. You can find this .wabbajack file HERE, and download the list using the "Install from File" option in Wabbajack.

Once you have the list downloaded and installed on a Windows system, and then copied to your Linux/Steam Deck system, these steps will need to be carried out in Desktop mode, but once complete you will be able to launch the Modlist and play the game from Game Mode. For AVO, you will need to own the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, and have launched the vanilla Skyrim game to download the Creation Club content. I also assume that you have set a user password on the Steam Deck.

AVO only supports Skyrim AE, Anniversary Edition is **not optional**.

The steps below may seem wordy and plentiful, but they can be carried out relatively quickly - I just wanted to give context and description to each step.

The next step is to add ModOrganizer.exe to Steam as a non-steam game. In Steam, click Games, then "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library". The latest version of Steam should use the regular File Browser from your system, older versions of Steam had a built-in file browser.

Next, we should set the resolution so that the deck isn't doing more work than it needs to. There's no point in asking Skyrim to render at 1440p, and then have the game squeezed into an 800p screen on the deck. To do this in MO2, filter for the entry for "SSE Display Tweaks", and double-click it:
