Just switched to Linux a bit over a month ago and am starting to want to mods some games again.

Anyone know if Mod organizer 2 is the best option for Linux or does anyone know of one that’s more functional with Linux and the fallout games?

Steam workshop mods work across all OS's, AFAIK.

Outside of that, I believe you can run the Windows Nexus Mod Manager in WINE. Otherwise, your best bet is this new Linux native mod organizer, which will add more game compatibility as time goes on.

I have used MO2 to mod my games for the past decade, and i still use it with just as much success on Linux. Strongly recommended

For modding Fallout I recommend using MO2 through Steam Tinker Launch

I tried a beta release several months back, but it wasn't stable enough to keep using it. I should try it again now

I just tried it like a week ago. It's pretty stable, at least on my system. The only thing that I notice is the lack of features in the app itself.

It did make modding Stardew Valley a bit easier.
