TIL about Amethyst Mod Manager for Linux (github.com)

Since Nexus Mod Manager for Linux fizzled out, I was excited to find a decent mod manager. It has built-in support for about 100 games, but adding other games seems pretty easy. I pasted in the Steam ID and path the the .exe of a proton game (MineMogul), and then everything just worked.

I would love to have this be the Linux Skyrim modding fix I need to get through the coming winter. That said, I remember when this was first announced there were rumors that it was a vibe-coded project. Has that issue been cleared up?

The author confirmed they use LLMs for coding on the Nexus page for the tool

Yeah, I saw Claude in the contributors box, not super excited about that, but so far it's worked flawlessly for me, so hopefully it's not too sloppy...I'll come back and reply here if I start encountering broken-arse garbage.

Modding isn't broken on Linux. I used MO2 fine with both Skyrim and Fallout 4

You're not wrong. MO2 really didn't suit me, but I did okay with the workarounds for Vortex and was just wondering if we finally had a Linux-native alternative for me in particular. The other mod managers just don't work for me as well as Vortex does, and it helped me understand exactly how prefixes work
