Mod managers for Linux? (lemmy.world)

Original question by @communism@lemmy.ml

I've finally started having some free time lately and have been working through my Steam library, most of which is Windows games I'm playing with Proton.

I wanted to install some mods, and wanted a mod manager for this. Nexus Mods has Vortex, which is not available for Linux. In any case, running Windows games on Linux through Proton on Steam is fairly specific; the game files will be at certain locations on a Linux filesystem, not at the same locations as they would be on a Windows filesystem. So I think I would need software that has specifically been designed for this use-case (Windows games from Steam running on Proton).

Are there any such mod managers out there? What do other people do when playing games on Linux? I can't be the only person who wants to play video games with mods.

Stardew Valley, Baldurs Gate 3, and Cyberpunk 2077 are easily modded with their New Nexus App. It is still in development, but it has native support for Linux, I've had zero issues with it so far.
