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.

I wish more devs would just use Steam Workshop. It's incredibly painless on Linux.

Edit: the word "just" seems to be triggering some people. Rest assured I meant it as in "just do it already", and not "just do this and nothing else"

Porn and nudity mods are ones of the most numerous\popular categories for decades. Steam can't allow that.

Not to mention there could easily be a court case where Valve gets told they can't host mods that infringe on copyright and are told to remove it all and not accept anything like it.

Kiss goodbye to your Skyrim mods that add Thomas the tank engine characters as dragons, Spiderman as a playable character, LOTR characters and weapons, etc.

As much as I think steam workshop is great and convenient, it shouldn't be the only accessible option.

Sure, but please after a general solution. I don't want to be forced to use Steam to mod my games. Many of my games aren't even on Steam!

Also I want it optional, so can control if Steam gets to see my Playtime.

I very much welcome the Nexusmods solution in comparision
