Nolvus Dashboard for Linux

A Linux native application for installing and managing the Nolvus modlist.

Nolvus Linux automatically downloads and install all requirements for Nolvus and attempts to automate steam shortcut creation and Proton prefix configuration.

Introduction

Nolvus Dashboard for Linux is a Linux native application written in .NET 9 and uses the same codebase as the Windows version, only changing what is necessary for functionality.

The official Windows dashboard does not function natively on Linux and required a Windows system in some form (VM or dual boot) to complete installation. This project exists to remove that requirement entirely.

Important Notes

• This project is in Beta - There will be bugs
• Currently, Nexus Premium is required, but support for free accounts are planned
• Please report any issues you encounter to help improve the application

Features

• Linux First: Designed specifically for Linux with minimal external dependencies
• Upstream Parity: Aims to be bug-for-bug compatible with the official Windows Dashboard
• Automated Nolvus Installation: Install just like you would on Windows
• Proton Prefix Configuration: Attempts to manually configure Proton for you, but can also be done manually
• Launcher Setup: Automatically installs and configures the Nolvus Launcher
• Improved User Experience: Full GUI application with terminal support
