Hi, Just switched from Windows a few months ago, so I'm used to using Vortex to manage my mods.

I've tried to find an alternative, but I think the ones I have found are only for certain games?

I think the only games I really use mods for are Stardew Valley and Dinkum (although I'm guessing my Dinkum mods are too old since they've updated it a lot).

I tried to do Vortex and I got it to install and open through Wine, but I can't seem to get it to find my games. I tried following various instructions I found, including the Steam Tinker(er?) Launch, but that didn't work either.

I created symlinks and was able to have Vortex/Wine view my game folders, but the .exe files do not show which I think is the issue.

The error that comes up just says that the .exe file was not found and that trying a top-level directory usually works. I have tried using the directory in the broad sense (like the whole drive) as well as narrowing it down to the exact folder that the .exe file is in, but no dice.

I did Steam through Linux, should I have done Steam through Wine also?

Or is there an alternative?

Thanks for reading!
