Suggestion: Vortex On Steam

[masternetra]

An idea, why not upload vortex to steam in addition to having it available here? For those using steam it makes the install maybe a little more easier, but even better it would provide a much easier way to install on Linux and the like via Steam's proton.

Not a bad idea, although it should be noted that Vortex does not have a Linux release (yet!).

That's the point, Steam's proton (aka Steam Play) is a compatibility layer based off of W.I.N.E. that can run a number of windows only games (not all work but a number do). If it can work via proton, it would buy more time and give linux users something. A Linux version would most certainly be best, but until one is made and released.. I'd figure pushing to steam would be quicker and easier for the time being.
