yay another crappy proprietary launcher, i needded that
Its okay, if you don't know what its used for and have no use for it, you can just not comment. We won't be offended.
Those of us who have been playing cyberpunk 2077 on linux and wanting to mod the shit out of it can be happy! Isnt the internet great?
Isn't it open source? https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/releases
Yes. https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/blob/main/LICENSE.md
What's the alternative to nexus mods?
Alternative to nexus mods or nexus mod manager?
Limo looks promising as a mod manager.
Yeah I was just confused at why they didn't want it, I was under the impression that it will serve a completely unserved purpose on Linux.
I replied to them directly as well, but isn't it open source? https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/releases
I too am confused why they wouldn't want a tool made for linux that works with their mods. Most people are going there for them anyways.
Just someone wanting to be a cunt about something without even taking the time to think or look into if they were wrong or not.. I bet they don't even come back to reply to any posts after being immediately shown how fuckin wrong he was.
Mod Organizer 2, which has supported Linux for years
I haven't used that in years. Does it have collection support, and can you download mods from in the app? Those are the 2 most important features that nexus has in my opinion. It's so seamless to verify compatibility and get it all up and running with no hassle.
There's Wabbajack. But I don't use collections as a lot of the modding community has some really weird preferences. There's tons of mods that a lot of collections use to make Skyrim more like Ubisoft games, which personally makes me mentally gag to think about.
I didn't know this was a thing and I honestly don't get why this would be an advantage over just using a browser. I often compare multiple similar mods before picking one to add, and I don't see how Vortex could beat a browser for that.
I'm not a fan of built-in mod managers. They're just walled gardens that the devs have a monopoly on. It's the biggest gripe I have about Factorio
This is really great for Linux gaming, actually 🙂
I thought the same thing but then I clicked on the link to their GitHub. It seems to be using the GPL3 licence
You don't need to use Vortex to launch. I have so many mods for cyberpunk I use it to keep track what have installed (and can also easily troubleshoot if an update breaks something) I don't launch Cyberpunk with Vortex
