What’s the problem with Vortex (other than using Electron)? I’m using it for Fallout New Vegas on Linux desktop, and other than OS-specific issues (like having to fuck with the Wine config to make hardlink deployment work, or not being able to handle nxm links), I’ve really had no significant problems with it.

My only hope that they’ll get it right this time around. NMM was a disaster all around. With the Vortex announcement, hopes went up, given that they literally hired the person who created Mod Organizer, but then it was essentially NMM round 2, with an electron shell. This looks somewhat promising, at least

I wouldn’t necessarily call these “problems”. I just don’t like the how the underlying functionality is designed.
For some basic modding, and installing Nexus collections, it’s probably just fine, but for anything more advanced, It’s too rigid. It didn’t allow me the flexibility to do the things I wanted, and lacked plugin support for things I was already extensively using. My preference still lies with MO2, but of course, everyone is welcome to use the tools that work for them

It works on Linux which already a step in the right direction imo
