How to Install Vortex on Steam Deck
Got Vortex running on my Steam Deck after some tinkering. The key is switching to Desktop Mode and treating it like a regular PC. Sure, it's not straightforward, but if you're patient, it's doable. Make sure you download the Linux version of Vortex, and you'll be modding in no time!

Just don't. Vortex and the Steam Deck aren't really meant to mingle. You're better off sticking to the Steam Workshop for your modding needs on the Steam Deck.
Installing Vortex on your Steam Deck is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, but here's a workaround! Since the Steam Deck runs on SteamOS (a Linux variant), you'd first need to enable Desktop Mode. Then, download the Linux version of Vortex from the Nexus Mods website. Install it as you would on a regular Linux system. Remember, you'll also need to install any dependencies that Vortex requires. It's a bit of a process, but where there's a will, there's always a way!
