It's exciting to see someone else try to tackle the same problem as me. Approximately a year ago i also attempted to implement a mod manager for Linux, but the progress halted a bit when i got satisfied with how i could mod STALKER Anomaly (plus some other errands which ate up my time).

How to prevent update on linux - a solution.
1 project | /r/skyrimmods | 6 Dec 2023

Normally, the appmanifest read-only works fine, but on Linux (or at least for me on PopOS 22.04) I had a problem with that method. Everytime I launched steam, it edited that file even in read-only mode. Also I use modorganizer2-linux-installer, which launches MO2 through default skyrim proton prefix.

I’m not running OBSE by itself. I’m running it alongside Mod Organizer 2. This script will setup MO2 for you and set it so that Steam launches it automatically when you press play. Then, you’ll need to follow this doc to install OBSE alongside MO2. Hopefully that would setup all of your pathing correctly.
