rmm200 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Vortex is 90% library routines. When all of those libraries are supported on Linux - then it becomes feasible.Note: I suspect most already have a Linux version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaasterly Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It's funny that I should see this now!I'm a devoted Linux user, and just yesterday I tried returning to Skyrim on Steam Proton after ten years.I lost interest, however, after Vortex in WINE was such a pain in the ass; and didn't bother trying to fix the errors, as should be expected with most applications in WINE.It's great to see such support for a port that would do so much good for us Tuxies, as it is to see Linux gaming becoming "a real alternative to Windows" as sssSami states!

vikinghelmet99 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I'm also a heavy Linux user, and I never liked having to reboot to go from my studio stuff to a game. Since Win 11, it's gotten even worse. I would love to see Vortex distributed for Linux, too! If not Vortex, we should certainly try throwing together a stand-in to interface with Nexus.

Lucidvisionsinc Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Well I literally dont see the use for vortex but if everyone else does then I support it. However it seems to cause confusion and unreliability when updating mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucidvisionsinc Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Well I leave information on each update when people use vortex they bypass the important information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Is that different from any other mod manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 For me, the biggest problems with mod updates in Vortex comes from mod authors not changing the version number of the mod when updating, or deviating from the numbered version system, like 'Final', or 'Redux'. While descriptive, it seems that the automated tools in Vortex don't handle this well, and I'm not sure that any tool system can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edacist Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) I've had a weird issue trying to run Vortex through wine where it would work from the terminal, but would give a JavaScript error when launched from the start menu or taskbar.Eventually I found the fix. I needed to add: > /dev/null 2>&1to the end of the "Exec=" line in the Vortex ".desktop" file (for me it was "/home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-Programs-Vortex.desktop").
