This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux_gaming

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • ModBuddy

    Mod buddy is a mod manager created with extensibility in mind

    I've seen that case insensitivity is a big deal (which is a shame, but i guess that is due to different name handling on *tux/Windows. Luckily it isn't the worst problem to handle, and can be followed here

  • steamtinkerlaunch

    Discontinued Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client for custom launch options and 3rd party programs [Moved to: https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch] (by frostworx)

    You may want to get in touch with u/frostworx to see about getting this to play nice with SteamTinkerLaunch. I for one would massively appreciate seamless Linux modding. It's the one and only thing I miss about Windows

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • loot

    A modding utility for Starfield and some Elder Scrolls and Fallout games.

    This looks great!! I haven't dived into the realm of linux modding mainly because of having to run NMM2 and LOOT through lutris. (haven't tried Vortex with the integrated LOOT)

  • GameHub

    All your games in one place

    Nice! GameHub has Overlays which is similar.

  • CKAN

    The Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network (by KSP-CKAN)

    I've always been a big fan of CKAN so take a look there for inspiration.

  • smerge

    Smart Merge

    I also have attempted such a thing, and as a result I have something you may find useful: https://github.com/josephsmendoza/smerge the idea behind this program is to intelligently resolve program folder merging for package managers which is what a mod manager is.
