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.
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.)
