I’ve never done it, but I assume Vortex Mod Manager can make a mod list for you that you can export.
Word of warning though, there aren’t any good native Linux mod managers yet, though nexus is working on one. It’s possible to get Vortex to work, but it does take some effort. I don’t think there’s anything online on how to make it work (last I searched people just said it wouldn’t), but it can work. Message me if you need some help with that.
Appreciate the offer. I followed some mod guide, that involved a TON of steps beyond just a mod manager. Goal was to modernize the game a little while keeping the content vanilla. Im assuming because it is such an old game lots of steps were required. It’s been a while since I did it.
Not for most games. Usually modding is just putting the files in the right folder, so it isn’t a big deal and you don’t need a manager, but it is good when you have 100+ mods.
Again though, Vortex is usable with WINE, just not ideal. For anyone curious, you need to install it into the prefix with the game and, IIRC, create a virtual link to the mod directory, or something like that. It’s been a while since I’ve done it. It’s not that difficult but, from my experience, you should expect to have a warning or two that you just have to ignore.
This is the new app that will be replacing Vortex, and it works on all platforms natively. It only officially supports a handful of games though, like Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk, for now.
Because you have configured it to install updates when you are not using your PC and windows is leveraging a system wake timer. If Linux was configured to do the same it would be no different.
I don’t know about others, but I’ve tried and failed to stop my pc waking from sleep.
At some point, it just stops providing wake reason codes. It just wakes up. The system doesn’t know or tell why.
Hibernation has never failed me, at least.
I have a win10 box in a rack under the side part of my desk. I use it super sporadically. I spent a couple minutes turning off the normal culprits but it still turns on randomly. Sometimes by the next morning, sometimes a week later. No rhyme or reason to it. I couldn’t be bothered to figure out what new stupidity MS put in to boot it. It’s plugged into a rack mount power strip at the top of the rack…I just unplug it now.
You can configure it. Whats worse, my current PC actually allows every device to wake up my PC. My old PC didn’t allowed it and only allowed the power button and WoL. You can turn it off for each device (there is no bulk option, thanks MS), but when you plug in a new device…
Recently I forgot to unplug my mouse from charging and my PC started right away.
I have no problem that there is this option. Might be handy in the right situation. I have a problem that you can’t configure it easily. But I guess hibernation is something that Devs forget these days. I have a few programs that don’t play along nicely.
Doesn’t work Invalid parameter--. I have zero clue where it gets the --. But the issue would be new devices or other ports. I did this manually once, needed to unplug my PC and needed to do this once again. At least there seems to be an option doing this in bulk but it’s not optimal.
Why the hell does my PC turn itself on from hibernate when there is an update pending? Fuck you windows.
Going to switch to Linux as soon as I stop being lazy… any day now.
Today could be the day! I bet 90% of Lemmy would at least try to help.
It really is an issue of laziness. I dont want to have to re-mod New Vegas.

There are no linnux mod managers in general?

At least after we battled over which distro is best.
Fair point.
Or some BSD?
For beginners?
I find the installer pretty intuitive; Also: RTFM.
On a more serious note: I’d recommend a beginner Linux Mint
I just did the switch last night! I don’t regret it yet and doubt I will. You should give it a shot.
Because you have configured it to install updates when you are not using your PC and windows is leveraging a system wake timer. If Linux was configured to do the same it would be no different.
So, I have every conceivable setting off for automatically installing updates. It won’t let me not do it.

Try running this in Powershell, after running this it should only wake from either a wake timer and maybe wake on lan.
powershell -Command “powercfg /devicequery wake_armed | ForEach{ powercfg /devicedisablewake $_ }”

Here’s a one liner that disables wake on all devices in your PC.
powershell -Command “powercfg /devicequery wake_armed | ForEach{ powercfg /devicedisablewake $_ }”
