Just did it myself on Linux Mint:

You want SteamTinkerLaunch, which the Git page mentions there's another program I can't recall the name of right now (proton something) you can use to install it.

If you're on a Debian based OS the version of YAD you can get is laughably out of date (0.4 vs the minimum 7.0) so you'll have to compile that yourself but that's ezpz

With STL enabled and set as your comparability tool launch it and install MO2 and mod away to your heart's content

I used Vortex instead because I hate everyone else and like watching them cringe when I say that. 0 issues.

Oh, proton will need to be ABOVE 8.5c to work with certain mods. 9.0 works great ime

Wow is that why YAD is so terrible. Literally put me off from using STL, its so slow. Thank yoooouuuu

Alas Im pretty attached to Mod Organizer 2.5s qol improvements and STLs script for MO2 is still installing 2.4 I think. Under Wine 9 MO2.5 runs but not games, under Proton 9 games run but not Mod Organizer. Im also playing GoG releases and trying to find out how to run them outside Proton since Proton is linked to Steam. Ill probably try Glorious Eggroll Wine next.

I like running MO2 because these specific kinds of headaches fill me with determination and I like seeing people cringe when I say that. Infinite issues xD

I got Fallout working!

I forgot to install dxvk in Wine!

My tips in this endeavor for others:

In Wine 9 and above use Winetricks to install the latest Visual Studio as well as the LAV audio codec, Quartz.dll, and the dxvk graphics api.

Install Mod Organizer 2.5 in Wine and set games up as you would in Windows.

If using another Wine or Proton version just make sure it has qt6 runtimes.

If you use Mod Organizer 2 version 2.4.4 or below, nix the qt6 requirement. 2.4.4 works fine for older games but is missing support for some newer titles like Baldur's Gate 3.
