MODERATORS
I haven't done much for modding, but I did mod up Beat Saber recently with ModAssistant. What I did was add the ModAssistant exe file as a non-Steam game, then put this in the launch options:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/620980" %command%
The 620980 is the AppID for Beat Saber; you'd have to find it for each game. What this does it run the exe file in the same prefix as the game, which is good for making sure that any changes to ini files (etc) in AppData actually get written to the right spot. It worked great, no different than on Windows.
