MODERATORS
Thank you, this is very insightful! I believe the Steam Deck has 1GB of VRAM assigned by default - would that be sufficient for most purposes?
Most guides for the Steam Deck seem to focus on installing Vortex. If I understand correctly, Vortex has it's own 'collections' (i.e. modpacks) whereas Wabbajack modlists are installed using the alternative program ModOrganizer2. Speaking of Wabbajack, I did find this specific guide for Linux/Steam Deck. The Dragonborn modpack in particular sounds interesting...
As another alternative, you can also install mods using the built in mod manager? I'm guessing that is a lot more limited.
1GB is nothing - I would be surprised if that's the most you can get. As for mod managers I'm not sure how best to do it on a Steam Deck. You can get Mod Organizer working tmk, but it's not native. I'm not sure what the built-in mod manager is but yeah I would stick with Vortex and MO2
I know you can turn up the VRAM to 4GB if you like. When I eventually give the modpack a try, I'll see how I get on with the default first.
