So all the talk is that Linux is great for gaming now, and tbf, it has come a long way. But there’s a good portion of people like me and my friends who still regularly use windows because we love modding the crap out of all of our favorite games and that’s just not feasible on Linux, vortex doesn’t work and most modloaders have a bunch of bootstrap fixes you have to do, God forbid you want to debug your mod list and change often.
So I guess my question is, does anyone have any news on the state of Linux modding, has anyone out there got a git project in alpha or something coming up that might open the floodgates for us modders? Pretty please?


Bethesda games there is MO2 for linux.
Vortex can work really well on Linux and you can easily install it using steamtinkerlauncher.
For games like BG3 that have their own modding tool, you can run them using Wine/Proton.
You can also just mod manually like GTA3/GTA VC/GTA SA(I played these games on Linux, which is why I’m citing them).
Or you can use a tool made for Linux like Limo.
There’s also R2ModMan that supports Valheim and a bunch of other games.
Thank you this is just what I was looking for
