As the title says, for a brief time a while ago I modded valheim and found r2modman and felt it was one of if not the best experience I've had modding games, it was especially sweet because I could mod the game with my friend who's on windows and the process was the exact same so helping them was no issue.

I wanted to know what other similar software there is for modding on linux, since the game collection it works on is kinda limited (I only own a few of those) and whenever I want to mod a particular game I end up overwhelmed with steps and options.

To avoid just a list of every linux mod manager under the sun, most of the experience modding with r2modman is: picking a game > hitting download > play There's usually not much you have to do for a specific mod to work besides adding it to the list, and it keeps the game files squeaky clean.

most mod managers are for a single game.

but i guess the actual answer would be steam workshop.

nah I suspect they want something like vortek where it checks the installed steam games, and pulls mod lists you can download/setup profiles for 1 click loading with mods.. or load the games from steam directly without the mods preinstalled
