Jackify
Jackify is a Linux application for installing and configuring Wabbajack modlists on Linux and Steam Deck. It automates the entire process — downloading, installing, Steam shortcut creation, Proton prefix setup, and post-install configuration — through both a GUI and a full-featured CLI.
Important
Most modlists are not officially supported on Linux. A successful installation does not guarantee the modlist will work on your system. For Linux-specific help, use #unofficial-linux-help on the Wabbajack Discord — do not contact the modlist author unless they explicitly support Linux.
