Modding is one of those few gaming things that still remains a massive pain on Linux compared to doing it on Windows, if they actually commit to supporting Linux and making sure it works on Wine/Proton games as well this would be massive! I've been modding my games manually ever since switching but having a mod manager is just so so so much nicer.
I wish more devs would just use Steam Workshop. It's incredibly painless on Linux.
Edit: the word "just" seems to be triggering some people. Rest assured I meant it as in "just do it already", and not "just do this and nothing else"
Sure, but please after a general solution. I don't want to be forced to use Steam to mod my games. Many of my games aren't even on Steam!
Also I want it optional, so can control if Steam gets to see my Playtime.
I very much welcome the Nexusmods solution in comparision
Yeah, I have a friend who was very interested in switching to Linux on his gaming computer.
His game of choice is Arma 3, which I play and runs great on Linux. But then he asked me, "what about mods?" He plays Arma with a massive amount of mods, and not just Steam workshop ones, all kinds.
I tried to replicate all his mods on my installation as a proof of concept, but after over 2 hours, it still didn't work.
Having really solid and easy modding would be awesome.
I've been fortunate that the main games I want mods for, support it rather seamlessly on linux. R2modman for Lethal Company and other unity games, and Mod.io for Deep Rock Galactic.
There's r2modman for a lot of games, which is a native Linux mod manager using the Thunderstore for its mods. There's also ModOrganizer2 which can work somewhat okayish on Linux but Protontricks, which is a dependency, is currently a sore spot. https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer
