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.

That's really interesting! Keeping this in mind for future games I want to mod.

I was (and have been) succesfully modding CyberPunk 2077 for about a year ago now, with Limo, despite it not having 'official support' in the form of a preconfigured preset.

You just have to set up the deployers right, and point them at the right directory in your version of the game.

All on Bazzite, on a Deck.

I think my custom FONV mod count is approaching 200 now, lol.

It has occured to me that I should probably at some point just make a Viva New Vegas style guide for how to do this with Limo, instead of MO2, as the Mirelurked version of VNV does.
