Kaedrin mod manager, runcher, Prop Joe’s manager and a deprecated one by a user on the modding discord. We got plenty of mod managers in development but nothing as developed as vortex.

Vortex allows for profiles, configuration during installation, easy install for central “mods”, very visible mod version, etc…

I’m sure runcher/Frodo’s new mod manager will get there, but my point is vortex got everything a user and a modder may want for that game.

Also, I’m not sure if Kaedrin is actively developing his mod manager, he doesn’t seem very active on the discord.

What’s the problem with vortex? As a modder for total war, I dream about the day total war would get a mod launcher like that.

What plug-in is it and does it work with Firefox? I had a plug-in that worked with chrome, but it didn’t work with Firefox and I never got around to fixing it.

Except that you have to know exactly what <program> is, character for character, and usually includes some long string of numbers and letters where 1 character is wrong and you have to retype the whole damn thing. This is the opposite of easy.

If it a program you are unfamiliar with, yes you’ll probably need to search for the apt name and copy paste. I much prefer that over searching a website, verifying it’s not a scam site, then download the exe, and then run the exe once the download is finished. After the first time, just add it to a .sh script and then you can download every program you need automatically if you ever need to set up a new instance again.

I guess it’s not for all, but worst case it’s hardly any more work than needing to go to a website to download the exe.

I have no idea how to install all the different program types (flathub, db, appimage, etc.). Windows has exe. I click “install” and boom, it’s done.

That’s strange, I’ve always felt that installing stuff is a lot easier on Ubuntu than windows. It’s just apt install <program> and apt remove <program>. Having to manually download and run an exe feels outdated in comparison.

I can’t even select a file because there are no previews. Just a gazillion blue squares with names like “dlcosn_3947912947”.

Curious what distro you installed that had that issue. The only preview issue I’ve encountered was on win10 where I had to pay for windows to support H.265 to give me previews of H.265 files.

Things are constantly breaking. When they do I look up support articles that are written in fucking Klingon and sent to the terminal to type in commands that always return some sort of generic error “command not found” or some shit because the solution is written for a different one of the 862700422 available distros.

That’s a fair point though. If you aren’t willing (and most aren’t) to learn enough to be comfortable with the terminal, it can be very easy break something when you are forced to interact with the terminal.

The owner is retiring and seems to want to shut down the business. Their latest power supplies are only given 3 years warranty despite the standard being 10 years.

These news doesn’t come as no surprise unfortunately.
