Alright, as much as I want to give Microsoft the double birds and leave, way too many modding programs are .exe based.
And I just cannot yet be fucked to learn how to do per-app emulation. It scares me, things just sort of work here, and I can give them one and a half birds by removing almost all their telemetry garbage.
That being said I do really like the idea of Linux, I just want a little bit more idiot friendliness out of it
I have a Windows VM specifically for that purpose. Game directories are mounted as network drives. The only issue is that I can't use hardlink deployment in Vortex, but Nexus is making a new app to replace it that might have a Linux-native release.
Mounting games to your virtual machine as a network drive? That sounds like a rather tricky workaround. Has it given you much trouble?
I use Virtualbox's shared folders, they appear as network drives in the guest machine. It hasn't given me any trouble, but like I said, it's limited to what you can do with a network share on Windows, so no links.
