      Am stupid and linux doesn't have nice and dumb-friendly mod managers, so Steam Workshops is the closest to it.

        Doesn't MO2 work on Linux? I would hesitate to call the steam workshop a mod manager. it has literally no tools to manage mods.

        Mod organizer is in my experience the gold standart for mod managers. It may not seem "nice", but it really is much kinder and easier than using for example vortex in the long run.

            I mean, I helped you as best as I could, I assumed that if you are already using Linux that this is not impossible. Also I tend to ignore people calling themselves stupid, because most people don't actually mean it.

      You can’t control the versions you use

      There is a tool in local file settings you can use to roll back to old versions, however I think the onus is on the game devs to catalogue/make available those older versions. I go back and forth on build versions for Stellaris depending on what mods I want to play with, however there are other games in my library that only use this feature for beta testing instead.

      right click the game in library, going into properties, then betas and then selecting your preferred version

          Oh, this is a different problem then my apologies. Yes Steam Workshop is very bad in regards to mod versions unless the mod creator themselves uploads a new workshop entry for every version (which very rarely happens) you are 100% correct.

            It's so horrible, steam really lacks basic features. I once tried to edit a steam mod myself, it was a pure nightmare to even find the mod file and then to keep steam from editing it back.
