Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app - eviltoast
I wrote about the brand new Nexus mods app before, as it's quite a promising and exciting development for the future of modding (especially for Linux and Steam Deck). And now, they want your feedback.

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 tried this out, I was unable to log in with Firefox or Chromium. It appears the only games that it supports in this alpha are Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077. I have Stardew Valley installed and it finds it.

    It’s a good start, though. I hope this gets updated soon.

      I really love the thing. It’s been my almost exclusive gaming device for the last couple years, except for the past few weeks where I’ve been binge gaming shattered pixel dungeon on my phone.

          I just screwed myself so hard. Was OP buff as hell warrior class. Killed the final boss with ease, went back up to level 1, and …couldn’t leave. I’d forgotten to go grab the dumb amulet and didn’t even notice I wasn’t healing on the boss stages on the way back up.

          Went all the way back down, grabbed the amulet, started going back up again but at that point I was running low on food. Then due to a quick series of absolute bs and bad luck I got killed. Ruined a fantastic run that I thought was in the bag.

            Oh nooooooo! Wow that sucks but its really impressive you crawled that entire dungeon three times (down up down).

            I don’t bother with the challenge ascent, since I don’t want to ruin a win. I want to do it someday but for now I just end the game with the amulet.

              I gotta go all the way! Lol. So far I’m 2/48 now. Beat with the mage first, then warrior just today. Next up will be Rogue. After I win with every hero it’s going to be time to retire and play other games again. I think the last three hero wins will go a lot faster than the first two. I have a great grasp of the game, now.

                Hah respect. Please update me when you finish!

                I’ve beaten it with the four base classes but not the dualist, and not since the “ascent” feature was added. Its a good timewaster. Though, I wish I used alchemy and spells more…

                  Will do. I started a rogue run just a bit ago and I hope I don’t screw it up, cause I got a crazy good level 3 blasting wand drop on floor 1 or 2. Huge benefit to rogue it seems. I’ve never even had a level 3 wand drop on me in my last 48 games.
