How to Download CurseForge on Steam Deck
To download CurseForge on your Steam Deck, you're gonna have to sidestep traditional methods. Steam Deck runs on SteamOS, so you'll need to enable Desktop mode first. Once you're in Desktop mode, open up a web browser and head over to the CurseForge website. Download the Linux version of CurseForge (if available), or if not, you might need to get a bit creative with compatibility layers like Proton or Wine. Install it like you would on a regular Linux system, and voila!

Quick tip: You can't directly download CurseForge on Steam Deck cause it's not in the Steam store. Switch to Desktop mode, grab it from the CurseForge site, and maybe pray to the Linux gods for a smooth install.
Honestly, just why? Steam Deck's charm is its pick-up-and-play game library. If you're diving deep into modding with CurseForge, might as well use a PC. It's like using a sports car to haul furniture; sure, you *can*, but should you?
