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.
Another vote for Amethyst. Just started modding for first time. Here my post about it: https://lemmy.ml/post/54821902 “Nexus Mods with Amethyst-Mod-Manager (first steps starting guide)” on Nov 2nd, 2026 [10 days ago]
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.
I haven’t tried modding in a while. What are some good mod managers nowadays?
Amethyst
