If you’re tech savvy enough to use Linux, just get it for free from fitgirl-repacks dot site, setting it up in Heroic or Lutris is very straightforward.
I’ll echo ReadFanon’s comment. Hydra Launcher is open source and you can add trusted sources from https://hydralinks.cloud/ (old link, will redirect to the correct address)
Then you can use Heroic to run the installer before adding the game to it. I wish Hydra would have added Proton/umu support already so that you could just do everything from there, specially since it has achievement support.
Yep, Lutris is dead simple and basically magic. I’m not your typical Linux user, I suck at computers, it’s a protest thing for me that’s like 60% political and 40% “I hate user hostile software and will actively choose alternatives that respect me”, and even I can figure out Lutris, most of the time.
I run the fitgirl installer thru proton by adding the installer as a “non-steam game” and then deleting it from my library after it installs. Way better than wine. It still crashes or freezes occasionally, but I’ve found dodi packs sometimes have better luck with my method.

Also check out Hydra Launcher. Be careful since it’s a piracy tool so use all due caution that you usually would for these things.

Fitgirl installers always crash on wine for me. I like to get those repacks from cs.rin where you can just unzip and play.
