Try johncena141 repacks (recommended) for linux or DODI repacks if the first one did not make a repack for the game yet. Fitgirl repacks have never worked in my experience while DODI's have always worked. For johncena141: https://gitlab.com/jc141x/setup For DODI: just execute the setup.exe with wine and install the game in the folder you prefer.

They work but are a pain to get going. They use a C++ third party library that requires a lot of dependencies. I once managed to create a prefix with the required shit installed. But the settings were a crapshot, some installers would work but some others would require changes or replacements to libraries. Then moving and managing the installation was too much manual labor. It was annoying so I dropped the project.
