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?

    I’ve used atlauncher for minecraft without issues. r2modman works perfectly via app image for a lot of steam games as well.

    worst comes to worst you can manually drop files in but the tools do exist. it just depends what you’re modding

      If you’re using r2modman, you should check out Gale. It’s basically a drop-in replacement that’s WAY faster and has far better UX in my opinion.

        very cool! do you know if gale supports the exporting and importing profiles as hash codes? that’s how me and my friends tend to share modpacks.

        either way though I’ll check out, thanks.

          It does! The ease of exporting/importing mod packs as codes is part of what really sold me on it. r2modman’s UX around that task leaves something to be desired imo
