n00b questions, cannot get mod activated

[blaczero]

Hello, I know nothing of modding except that I download stuff, put the files somewhere and the game should "see" that and be modded.

 

I am using GOG Skyrim SE on linux, and I'm downloading stuff like Apoc magic, ordinator, world map, etc and it looks like none of it is active. 

After I download these mods manually and extract them into the data folder, is there anything else I need to do to "activate" them?  I am not using a mod manager.

Without a mod manager you'll need to enable them in the in-game mod menu.

Do mod managers even work in Linux?  Is the next important question..
