Yesterday, July 1st, they announced the Alpha release of this next-generation mod manager and their new Product Manager got in touch to mention they “would be really keen to get feedback from Linux users”. So this is your chance to ensure Linux (and Steam Deck) finally become a first-class citizen for game modding.

finaly,
one of the verry last things i was missing.now $(date +“%Y”) will truly be the year of the linux desktop
- S_H_K ( @S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 20•3 months ago
YEAH SWEET I’ll give my feed back for sure… After I get enough money for the steam deck…

Just install Linux on your laptop or desktop.
If you want a hassle-free setup, get Linux Mint, or if you use Nvidia, Pop!_OS.
To get as close to the Steam Deck setup as reasonable, get EndeavourOS with KDE. It is Arch-based and may require maintenance though.
Kubuntu is a good middle ground, with the same desktop interface as SteamOS (KDE) but also pretty hassle-free setup.

WAIT I CAN JUST INSTALL LINUX ON THE LAPTOP AND IT TRANSFORMS INTO A STEAM DECK!?
- F04118F ( @F04118F@feddit.nl ) 10•3 months ago
Software-wise, if you are using a Linux installation with KDE interface, on an AMD CPU and AMD GPU, and are using a wayland session with gamescope to play games, it is very VERY close to the Steam Deck and you are benefiting from all the optimizations that were made for Steam Deck. Bonus points if the hardware is Ryzen 3000 series and Radeon RX 6000 series.
You probably saw this, but Nexus Mods are asking feedback from Linux users, not just Steam Deck. Because, you know, apart from the sticks, size and touch pads, Steam Deck is just another Linux machine.

LOL that’s a lot of ifs…
And you left out the part about launching into big picture mode.
- F04118F ( @F04118F@feddit.nl ) 14•3 months ago
All Linux installations use Proton, DXVK and Wine to play Windows games. That is the biggest power of the Steam Deck. The rest is just bonus.
You can launch Big Picture mode on any pc with Steam installed for ease of use with a controller…

That is not correct.
- RandomLegend [He/Him] ( @RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 10•3 months ago
Elaborate
What about this isn’t correct?

Did you remember to wish upon a star during install?
- S_H_K ( @S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•3 months ago
I’m already a mint user tho in one of my laptops I have atlas cause I’m trying to extract some sprites from an old game and for some reason wine wasn’t making it. But I’m not liking the windows experience any bit.
- ColeSloth ( @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ) 5•3 months ago
I really love the thing. It’s been my almost exclusive gaming device for the last couple years, except for the past few weeks where I’ve been binge gaming shattered pixel dungeon on my phone.

I just screwed myself so hard. Was OP buff as hell warrior class. Killed the final boss with ease, went back up to level 1, and …couldn’t leave. I’d forgotten to go grab the dumb amulet and didn’t even notice I wasn’t healing on the boss stages on the way back up.
Went all the way back down, grabbed the amulet, started going back up again but at that point I was running low on food. Then due to a quick series of absolute bs and bad luck I got killed. Ruined a fantastic run that I thought was in the bag.
- Butt Pirate ( @Yearly1845@reddthat.com ) 2•3 months ago
Oh nooooooo! Wow that sucks but its really impressive you crawled that entire dungeon three times (down up down).
I don’t bother with the challenge ascent, since I don’t want to ruin a win. I want to do it someday but for now I just end the game with the amulet.
- ColeSloth ( @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•3 months ago
I gotta go all the way! Lol. So far I’m 2/48 now. Beat with the mage first, then warrior just today. Next up will be Rogue. After I win with every hero it’s going to be time to retire and play other games again. I think the last three hero wins will go a lot faster than the first two. I have a great grasp of the game, now.
- Butt Pirate ( @Yearly1845@reddthat.com ) 1•3 months ago
Hah respect. Please update me when you finish!
I’ve beaten it with the four base classes but not the dualist, and not since the “ascent” feature was added. Its a good timewaster. Though, I wish I used alchemy and spells more…
- ColeSloth ( @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•3 months ago
Will do. I started a rogue run just a bit ago and I hope I don’t screw it up, cause I got a crazy good level 3 blasting wand drop on floor 1 or 2. Huge benefit to rogue it seems. I’ve never even had a level 3 wand drop on me in my last 48 games.
- S_H_K ( @S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•3 months ago
Is not even that hard really it does not spawn many champions so they are just tougher only. Challenge yog is harder.
Now that I think of it hopefully evan doesn’t see this he’s gonna patch out the shit outta it.

#BRUH!
- ColeSloth ( @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•3 months ago
Ikr? It was only my 2nd flipping time winning and it was well past when I should have already been asleep. So mad.
- S_H_K ( @S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•3 months ago
I already learnt that you have to keep an eye on the amulet debuff. One time I got up a level and as I didn’t sqw it I gone “ooops” and gone back.
- ColeSloth ( @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•3 months ago
Just did that last night. My inventory was full and I got back up a level before I was like “wait a second…damn it”

I don’t game that much on pc anymore, but this reminded me of this post about Linux gamers providing good bug reports.
- MonkeMischief ( @MonkeMischief@lemmy.today ) 14•3 months ago
Cross platform now!? Oh happy day! As time moves on I find less and less that would force me to hold on to this Win10 install just for gaming. One of those things was “Aw but their mod manager was really good.”
Absolutely astounding.
- Lojcs ( @Lojcs@lemm.ee ) 8•3 months ago
Does it work with nonstandard steam directories and proton?
- Ananace ( @ace@lemmy.ananace.dev ) 7•3 months ago
Seems to work with my personal setup at least, with two libraries - the default on
~/.local/share/steam
, and one on/mnt/storage/steam
- and Stardew Valley installed in the secondary storage library - Sivilian ( @Sivilian@lemmy.zip ) English2•3 months ago
It only works with Stardew Valley right now, but a gog and steam are support so I think you can point it to where you have the game.
- OutlierBlue ( @OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca ) English4•3 months ago
I never really used their previous client. I liked the control of doing it manually and found it got in the way.
I’m glad to hear they’re working Linux support in to this new version though.

Directly asking for feedback is a good sign. I’m looking forward to the future of modding on Linux
