Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
I wrote about the brand new Nexus mods app before, as it's quite a promising and exciting development for the future of modding (especially for Linux and Steam Deck). And now, they want your feedback.
Yesterday, July 1st, they announced the Alpha release of this next-generation mod manager and their new Product Manager got in touch to mention they "would be really keen to get feedback from Linux users". So this is your chance to ensure Linux (and Steam Deck) finally become a first-class citizen for game modding.
finaly,
one of the verry last things i was missing.now $(date +"%Y") will truly be the year of the linux desktop
I tried this out, I was unable to log in with Firefox or Chromium. It appears the only games that it supports in this alpha are Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077. I have Stardew Valley installed and it finds it.
It's a good start, though. I hope this gets updated soon.
That sucks. I was able to log in with Firefox but it was goofy. It took two tries.
YEAH SWEET I'll give my feed back for sure... After I get enough money for the steam deck...
Just install Linux on your laptop or desktop.
If you want a hassle-free setup, get Linux Mint, or if you use Nvidia, Pop!_OS.
To get as close to the Steam Deck setup as reasonable, get EndeavourOS with KDE. It is Arch-based and may require maintenance though.
Kubuntu is a good middle ground, with the same desktop interface as SteamOS (KDE) but also pretty hassle-free setup.
I use kubuntu with nvidia and it works really well. The only issue I have is stuttering on games with a locked framerate lower than my monitor refresh rate. I was able to fix the stuttering on elden ring with mods and so far that is the only game that has been wonky about it.
I'm already a mint user tho in one of my laptops I have atlas cause I'm trying to extract some sprites from an old game and for some reason wine wasn't making it. But I'm not liking the windows experience any bit.
I don't game that much on pc anymore, but this reminded me of this post about Linux gamers providing good bug reports.
Does it work with nonstandard steam directories and proton?
Seems to work with my personal setup at least, with two libraries - the default on
~/.local/share/steam, and one on/mnt/storage/steam- and Stardew Valley installed in the secondary storage libraryWorst case scenario you could just bind mount the nonstandard steam directory into the usual place
It only works with Stardew Valley right now, but a gog and steam are support so I think you can point it to where you have the game.
I never really used their previous client. I liked the control of doing it manually and found it got in the way.
I'm glad to hear they're working Linux support in to this new version though.
I just bought the Steam Deck 3 days ago. And I like modding ES5 and Cyberpunk 2077. So I will!
