Nice. I used Steam Tinker Launch to install MO2 myself. Steam Tinker Launch made it pretty easy to do. It can apparently install Vortex, too. Currently playing with around 300 mods on the Manjaro distro.
I can confirm this. Steam Tinker Launch works pretty well for me too. It also makes the 'Mod Manager Downloads' (see step 11 in the HowTo) work in your regular browser.
But it's always nice to have other options to get it running.

Indeed. That's one of my favorite things about Linux. I felt that Microsoft never really gives you much of a choice. Don't like telemetry? Too bad, because you can't disable it. I don't care if it's spying or not, I don't want it on my PC no matter what, especially not after I paid full price for a retail license. And then they keep installing all that garbage software you never use, such as Candy Crush, Cortana, Weather apps and Edge. Felt like I was constantly fighting against my OS. No more of that with Linux.
I've been using Linux for about three years now and I don't think I'll go back to Windows. I don't even use dual boot.
The first thing you need to know is that there are many different distributions (distros) of Linux. I use Manjaro myself, and I think it's quite simple to install. I've heard the Linux Mint distro is also a good choice if you are new to Linux. But feel free to experiment and see which distro you like the most though.
You just need to download an .iso from the distro's website and flash it to an USB (you can do this with balenaEtcher or Rufus). After doing that, restart your PC and bring up the boot menu when starting your PC (the key you need to press to bring up the menu depends on your motherboard BIOS. It's usually one of the F1-12 keys), then just make it so your PC will boot from the USB device. You should now be able to test and then install the distro.
I'm a Linux user from more than 10 years now and all i did to install MO2 was, after installing the wine version that you need, install the dependencies for MO2 itself, you can do this installing those with proton/wine-Tricks or manually. I highly recommend using Bottles (the Linux program) to manage your Windows games/programs in Linux.
Why am I saying this here?
Because I don't want people to think that things are harder than they are in Linux, It has it learning process just like Windows or Mac the first time you use those.
