I can't believe Skyrim AE can run at locked60fps with ultra settings on my low end laptop, Linux and Wine/Proton is awesome

Ryzen really shook things up when it came out. They were running on par, or nearly on par, with Intel's current offering for like 2/3 the price.

It got even more dramatic in the 4000 series. Renior is one of the best chips AMD ever made.
TBH the press just had a hard time comprehending it back then, and it was lest dramatic on desktop (or tanky desktop-sized laptops with dGPUs) because Intel's chips could clock higher for single-threaded workloads (at the expense of mad power usage).

Mine is a 3500U, which is pretty great for what I paid for it.

Do low-end laptops come with 1660Ti chips?
If op's mangohud is correct, yes

If a laptop has a dedicated GPU, it's not low end.

Now do it with 200 gigs of mods. I would love to know how stable Skyrim is with mods under proton.
200 gigs... ? what. the. fuck.

i don't run 200, but I run 58. i play on a steam deck and I use MO2 as my mod manager of choice!
runs just fine. i only get dropped fps in some dwemer ruins, but honestly? that might not be the modlist, that could be stock skyrim. lol.
How does MO2 work in proton? Is it one proton runtime that runs MO2 which then somehow launches another proton runtime to run the game? I can’t picture how it could be done

If your laptop has more than 2 cores/2 threads and has integrated graphics better than HD 6xx it is not low end.

i run MO2 through Proton (also you should install protontricks if you don't have it. it helps with additional wine dependencies that may be needed)
then I use MO2 to launch SKSE modded version of the skyrim SE launcher.
Vanilla skyrim runs perfectly with proton kinda on its own, so MO2 doesn't really have to do anything except make sure all the plugins get loaded in the proper order.
MO2 is quite nice, actually. i use it to run the normal Bethesda skyrim.exe if I want to configure my base game settings (graphics etc) but then just exit and swap back to the SKSE launcher from MO2 and we're golden.
I also find that CreationKit seems to play a lot more nicely when launched through MO2 than if I add it to steam and try to manually run it myself with Proton (CreationKit sucks to run, however and you'll have to get used to crashes and losing all progress so I would only recommend using it for very small tweaks.)
but yeah! runs just fine in proton. you really only need MO2 to initially launch skse for you. then it just kinda chills while you're playing. but the software is good (though I will say there was a bit of a learning curve in my case as I am a Vortex refugee

Its a 1660Ti, so really not a low end laptop lmao

Depends a bit on the age I think. A 15 year old laptop is nowadays low end, no matter how high end it was when released. Maybe I am using the term low end incorrectly though, please let me know.
