We’re also committing to supporting Vortex on SteamOS. We’ll be targeting vanilla Steam hardware like the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. We won’t be officially supporting any other configurations, but as Vortex is an open source project community developers will be free to extend support for their preferred Linux distros as they please.

Holy shit I had played hundreds of hours of SDV on Switch before I got the Steam Deck. I didn’t realize how much even just QoL mods would make a difference. Being able to zoom out further, your horse being one square wide vertically instead of two, seeing whether you’ve petted your farm animals yet, being able to look stuff up within the game…

I don’t think I could go back.

It absolutely is a game changer. Although not fun on steam deck when a new version comes out and its a pita to update all the mods

Disable updates in steam and launch with a different icon to bypass the update on launch, classic Bethesda game workarounds

I don't think this works anymore, tried it with Silksong to play on the launch version.

It does if you're launching through something else so steam doesn't realize you're launching it, like don't directly hit play on the actual game.

Hopefully Vortex will make that easier. I can update all mods on my PC far more easily than on their now-discontinued Linux offering, because I’m not willing to pay them their insane membership fee.

(I seriously feel like they should rethink that price. They’d get far more people to sign up for it if it were cheaper.)
