Anyway, if people want an actual linux native mod manager, that works with literally anything after a bit of set up...
LIMO.
https://github.com/limo-app/limo
Its on flathub too:

It's basically MO2, but linux native, you don't need to run it through STL or Proton or some other way of making it work.
Just actually RTFM, and its a very powerful tool.
I don't think it supports downloading an auto installing a whole mod collection from Nexus, but it can be set up to check Nexus for updates to individual mods, and download them.
The nexus mods app is native. You're thinking of Vortex, their old one.
Ironically, Vortex run through proton or wine environment that includes Vortex's windows requirements works better than NM, so... yeah, they're not that good yet at this whole linux thing.
