How to add mods to a game (GOG and steam)?

Hello guys, rookie arch user here (btw), started with arch since 2024, that's my first linux journey ever on life, and i do some gaming, most likely vanilla games or games that have mods but i download on steam workshop instead.

So, my question is, is it hard to add mods to games on GOG or steam? i mean, i'm willing to buy a game on GOG because there's already a mod part there (i do own a game that needs a patch to work correctly on steam, but never played it on linux, only when i was a user of shit windows), but i would like to be free and able to download any kind of mod in any game on whatever platform i want.

So, if there's any advice you guys can give me, i would appreciate a lot, for this still-learning linux user =) (i'm currently reading linux - the bible haha)

Do i get OG for free if buying Enhanced?

Sorry to ask that, but i wasn't able to find a clear answer to this question, if i buy the enhanced Stalker: SoC, do i get the OG too? (on both steam and GOG)

i mean, i'm new to the franchise, but i was looking and so many people talk so bad about the enhanceds that i fear playing it. Also, i don't want to play the enhanced because i saw that some people had performance issues with it. i do have a pc that i think is more than capable of running it (ryzen 7 5700x + rx 6600 + 32gb), but i wanna play it on my laptop (which has the rx 550 performance)

also, don't know if it's important, but i'm playing on linux too (arch btw), but with proton i don't believe it will be a problem.
