I just hope is new mod manager is being build with linux in mind as well. Hopefully, we will see vulkan make gaming on something other than windows a viable option over the coming years. But a system agnostic api is not all thats needed. There needs to be a hole bunch of gaming related software (the new mod managaer being of them) available on linux before this could become reality. So i guess it would be a smart move to write the new mod manager in either a os agnostic fashion or easily portable when the time comes. I guess writing a new seperate one with the same functionality and integration with nexus in the future wouldn't make a lot of sense. Did Tannin state anything in this regard? I for one have no plans to adopt windows 10 willingly...because i am absolutely for the empowerment of users and customers. Unfortunately windows moves in the opposite direction. So i hope the 'gaming environment' on linux for instance grows so we can have a real alternative.
