This little snippet covers how to get Syncthing to run in background on boot regardless of Desktop environment (so that you’ve got full synchronisation even in default game code), might be worth adding it under the link to Syncthing. :)

Ultimately, as difficult (or easy) on the Steam Deck as it would be on a regular desktop.

For games with built-in Steam Workshop support, it’s as easy subscribing to mods and enabling them in-game as it is when playing on a PC, and for games that don’t have that, you can switch to Desktop Mode - which is essentially a regular KDE Linux installation - and do your modding like on a regular PC.

As for the specifics of modding Morrowind, though… with Bethesda games, you can go absolutely hog-wild with mods, or you can just chuck a handful of QoL ones in and call it a day. Last time I’ve extensively modded Morrowind, it’s been couple of years back, and there’s been all sorts of tooling developed - you’ll need to read a bit into how it works nowadays, and how well it operates on Linux

I can wholeheartedly recommend DREDGE for Steam Deck playthrough, even if the game is the kind you play once and move on. 🙂 The game works really well with the Deck control scheme, its mechanics lend themselves to playing a bit at a time, and if you’re into Lovecraftian horror, it’s the cosiest one I’ve ever encountered. 😁

I can highly recommend it, especially if you also install Luxtorpeda compatibility tool to run it with the OpenMW project; it performs really well and is leagues more stable than the native binary. 😊

Echo Point Nova has seen its demo release couple of days ago; a new title from the studio that produced Severed Steel, which is an absolute banger of a fast-paced spectacle shooter.

To be honest, I’m not yet sure what to think of it - it gives me peculiar Tribes vibes when it comes to movement mechanics, but otherwise its influences are quite scattered - but I do recommend giving it a shot. 😊
