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.

    I am using r2modman most of the time and it works well for the modded games I play on my machine. I uses Thunderstore so it might not have the biggest library of mods for all your titles but it’s worth mentioning imo.
