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.
While native modding software is great on paper but when my game crap out or one of the mod is mis-be having and conflicting with other mods, I have to do elimination process of disabling one mod at a time and relaunch the game, it will take 10-25sec to start proton and the game itself which is annoying and a waste of time, that’s why I still use MO2 running through proton so the game can start without waiting for proton because it already running with MO2. does Amethyst have some kind of proton stand by in the background? Cuz last time I checked it doesn’t have it plus it didn’t even start with my pirated games.
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]
I haven’t tried modding in a while. What are some good mod managers nowadays?
