For my own reasons, I prefer Vortex over MO2. There’s a lot of conflicting info out there on how you should set up Vortex on Steam Deck. Having trouble figuring out the “best way” to install it in Dec 2023. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Ideally, I’d like to be able to use Vortex in a way that is most similar to how I can use it on Windows. I’d also like it to be able to work whether I’m playing a game on the internal drive or the MicroSD card. I have installed SteamTinkerLaunch through ProtonUp-Qt, but I don’t fully understand where to go from there other than setting STL as the compatibility tool for what I’m playing, and I don’t even know if this is the best way to do this. Like would there then be a separate Vortex install for every game I want managed?

Any advice would be much appreciated!
