Same here. If I could get Vortex Mod Manager to work under Wine/Proton, I wouldnāt use Windows at all.
Give it a shot again, something changed recently in Proton (I assume) that made Vortex ājust workā for me on my Steam Deck. I didnāt even need to do any fiddling, I just ran the installer exe from desktop mode using Lutris and whatever Proton was latest, and it installed perfectly. Vortex now runs entirely as expected, even from game mode.
What games are you using it for? Iāve used Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim SE and itās worked great on the deck
Really? The last few times Iāve tried (granted it was a year or more ago) I got like 15 FPS on a heavy modlist running on my desktop, which had a GTX 2080 and was running Arch, btw. Trying to get MO2 to launch the Linux version of Skyrim running via Steam/Proton and not the Windows version of Steam running through WINE was a fun mess to deal with. Once all that was handled, then half of the modding programs (xEdit, Nemesis, BodySlide, etcā¦) didnāt work with MO2s virtual FS. It was just way too many layers of abstraction to deal with š¤Æ
Yes, really haha. I donāt think I would consider the mod list I used heavy, at least not graphically. I didnāt use any of those programs you mentioned.

I recall using some sort of script that installed MO2 and handled all of this (at least for the Steam Deck).
Either way, I hope their new cross-platform launcher works out well.
