Modding a steam installed game is horrible. on Windows: point to the exe & done. Linux:

  1. Find compatibility and tool to run your modding programs
  2. Find your fucking install folder. (No steam a hidden folder is not where I want my stuff installed)
  3. Deal with symlinks in your install path
  4. Fuck you, you didn't use the exact same compatibility setting when you ran your tool Vs. When you installed the game. Try again.

Don't even talk about running cheat engine.

Asides from that Linux is .. Fine.

    I'd definitely agree here. In general, stuff where multiple processes need to talk to each other but are in separate containers is frustrating. So modding tools stumble a bit. Also, things that require login via a browser, which then redirects back to the application (for example, Unity opens a login page then goes back) - when it's running through Proton or in a container, it'll open in the browser on the host system, which then can't get back to it.

    That may just be a me being stupid issue, but it's annoying.

    Still keep using it because it's great, and no ads or crap is lovely.
