How do you mod games on the Steam Deck or Linux in general? I’ve seen so many videos and tutorials but nothing seemed to work.

I got my GOG Oblivion running with a mod pack by installing and running Vortex. I ended up using this utility: https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck/
It allows you to install Vortex in your game Proton prefix (you have to run it at least once for said prefix to exist). Then, after installing mods through Vortex, you use the ‘post-deploy’ script to synchronize some files, and your game is ready.
If you are having trouble, there is also a guide from steam community: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941631681
The guide is for Skyrim, in my case it worked fine with Oblivion - I have to believe it should with NV as well.
Good luck!
it worked but how do I do the same for my Fedora PC? I tried to run pikdum’s commands in my terminal but it didn’t work.
No idea honestly, I have no experience with Fedora and this toolkit seems to be designed for Steam Deck. At this point I’d try looking for an answer in the toolkits source files - it’s all essentially a bunch of bash scripts moving files around between Proton prefixes, AFAIK
I’ve used SteamTinkerLaunch with Vortex and it works.
