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!

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.

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.

that's because the people who are confused are idiots. as are those who publish unproven garbage assertions such as "it seems to cause confusion and unreliability when updating mods" in the vortex discussion forum.

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.

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>&1

to the end of the "Exec=" line in the Vortex ".desktop" file (for me it was "/home/user/.local/share/applications/
wine-Programs-Vortex.desktop").
