While their plans for a newer Nexus Mods app were shelved, they continue working on revamping Vortex and they want to get this popular mod manager on Linux.

    Didn’t they already have a Linux mod manager that they killed off just a few months ago because they said Linux wasn’t worth their time?

      Yes.

      That’s correct.

      They spent around 2 years telling us it was gonna work on Linux.

      Then it didn’t, then Linux was dumb and stupid anyway, guys, jeez.

      Now they’re hiring I guess a solo dev to do what they were confident they could do on their own, and spent 2 years failing at doing.

    Oh my god, they finally admit they have no idea how to do anything Linux, after spending years acting like they did.

    CrunchyRoll levels of competence going on here, folks.

    Anyway, check out Amethyst or Nomm or Limo for open source, linux native mod managers, pretty sure theyre all available as flatpaks, Amethyst is also available as AppImage, etc.

    Finally!! Can they even catch up at this point? Linux mod managers are insanely good these days. Vortex runs like crap under proton.

    One of the few benefits of AI is that modding is so much more accessible these days. I see mod updates almost weekly, sometimes even daily.

    Vortex needs to embrace open source or its never going to get the traction it needs.
