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?
You’re talking about modding in general, which is pretty similar in Linux to windows, besides some obligatory learning about Wine/Proton contexts. Hint: just use protontricks and install your windows mods that way.
But what you are actually asking is “why hasn’t someone else made a nice, easy tool for modding like I had on windows?”
And the answer to that is:
No one is stopping you from making it.
Welcome to Linux. You wanted freedom, you got it.
I’d argue that there’s just no need. Vortex, Mod Organizer 2, and other major mod managers already work on Linux.
Personally, I think the need for the modding community is a fediverse-based modding network to compete with Nexus in case they get enshittified. And file sharing could run off of torrents to keep server costs down.
I agree, personally.
And the absence of as many formal modding tools is, I believe, a reflection that many other Linux gamers think this as well.
Again: most of those already work on Linux
You’re just repeating a myth
I’m agreeing with you. Is there something unclear in my comment?
