I’ve finally started having some free time lately and have been working through my Steam library, most of which is Windows games I’m playing with Proton.
I wanted to install some mods, and wanted a mod manager for this. Nexus Mods has Vortex, which is not available for Linux. In any case, running Windows games on Linux through Proton on Steam is fairly specific; the game files will be at certain locations on a Linux filesystem, not at the same locations as they would be on a Windows filesystem. So I think I would need software that has specifically been designed for this use-case (Windows games from Steam running on Proton).
Are there any such mod managers out there? What do other people do when playing games on Linux? I can’t be the only person who wants to play video games with mods.
There is one in the works right now: https://www.nexusmods.com/app
The only problem is, there are just 2 games supported at the moment; Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077. Many more will follow, but it takes time. And updates can break your current setup, because its heavy on working and changes. So this is more of a future thing. I myself wait for this right now.
