We’re also committing to supporting Vortex on SteamOS. We’ll be targeting vanilla Steam hardware like the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. We won’t be officially supporting any other configurations, but as Vortex is an open source project community developers will be free to extend support for their preferred Linux distros as they please.
Recently I got a decent sized skyrim modpack running as easy as on windows using jackify( an install wrapper for wabbajack). It was actually amazing how simple it was. I thought it was going to be the final boss of linux modding.
The community tools are doing a great job bridging the gap
