I’ve been trying to try some new mods for Cyberpunk 2077 and FNV - as I previously held a small collection of mods (< 20 mods or so) - which was simple enough to manage manually. However, I’ve been wanting to try some of the collections from Nexus, and have hit a bit of a snug.

I’ve tried installing the following packages from AUR:

- nexusmods-app-bin

- vortex

Both can handle NXM URLs and collections thankfully - given their native installations being used. While Nexus Mods App was easier to download and install the mods with, it doesn’t support FNV and would not properly install all of the core dependencies from the collection (Welcome to Night City v2.31a), leaving the game a broken mess and launching in safe mode.

Vortex on the other hand is an utter mess. They killed Nexus Mods App and replaced it with Vortex (again) but made it so that it’s Linux only. The AUR package solves the issue, but it fails to recognize game folders and versions. I tried defining my Cyberpunk 2077 folder, which is under `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Cyberpunk 2077/`but Vortex kept throwing "This directory doesn't appear to contain the game. Usually, you need to select the top-level game directory, containing the following files: bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe"

Exiting the window still defined the game by the looks of it, but trying to add a collection throws an error regarding "version mismatch". Not to mention, when I tried installing some of the mods from the same collection on a fresh folder, Vortex would fail to properly unzip some of them (`7z’, `unzip` and `unarchiver` are installed) where I’d end up with filenames such as `bin\x64\plugins\cyber_engine_tweaks.asi` in my root Cyberpunk 2077 folder.

I did try installing Vortex to my Proton prefix using Protontricks - which worked well it started panicking about the hardlink etc. way of staging/installing mods, and handing NXM URLs - where because it’s running in Wine/Proton, Firefox/Zen would not redirect the download to it.

Does anyone have any recommendations or proper way of managing modding on Linux?

Does anyone have any advice on how to take my game and files(including mods, game saves, etc) from windows to linux? I used bottles to install the game that I would be running. Runs fine but I do not see that saved files.

Summary: Which distro would be best for gaming with my specs (Rx 580 8gb + i5 6500 + 8gb ram). If I'm quite new to Linux. I'm considering Nobara, and maybe cachyOS, Linux mint, if I change my mind.

Details: I'm currently using Ghost spectre 11 Super lite (custom windows iso) as my daily driver on my main PC (rx580 8gb + 8gb ram + i5 6500). It runs my games fairly okay like cyberpunk, spider man 1 and ghost of Tsushima but the ram usage is a bit much and the CPU usage is also quite high (2.5 gb ram idle and like ~20% Cpu on idle).

I've been seeing Alot of news about Linux improvements and I want to switch to it. I've previously tried dual-booting pop!_OS around a year and a half ago. Didnt work, as grub couldn't detect my windows partition (same drive at the time).

I'm now considering completely switching over for a while and then I might stay if it works out. Currently I'm looking into Nobara, and cachyOS, Linux mint as alternatives.

I mostly play games like cyberpunk 2077, red dead redemption 2, ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man 1 and Mile Morales, sometimes Roblox and Minecraft. And other than games I watch anime and YouTube, maybe some Netflix on my browser. I don't care much about super recent titles or anti-cheat games (those kernal level anti cheats don't work with ghost spectre either).

I might use creative apps to learn some skills down the line. Although I'll figure something out for that later.

In your opinion which distro should I go for? Or should I stay on ghost spectre? From what I've heard and seen till now (YouTube benchmarks) it seems that Nobara might be a good option since cachyOS is a bit advanced. I've seen some benchmarks where Linux mint performed better than nobara. Although that was maybe only 1 video or something.

Would also appreciate a heads up towards potential issues I could encounter.
