I'm familiar with MO2 from when I used windows, but I had a hard time getting it working on Linux. First problem was getting it installed. I found https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch which is supposed to let you install it into each game's wine/proton prefix which worked, but when I then tried to launch the game it would run with absolute terribile performance (like even just the title screen would lag and stutter...)

How did you install it? Maybe with a different method it would work for me better (even though now I'll probably just stick with my own tool I'm still curious)

I found this install script!

https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer

Download, run install.sh, follow the instructions given. It replaces the game effectively in Steam, which does mean you have to launch MO2 anytime you want to play the game, but I found that at worst, slightly annoying.
