In case anyone wants it, you can get Vortex working with WINE games. It's a pain, and it does have issues, but it can be done. I've only ever seen people say it can't work, but you can run it under the same prefix as the game and have it function 95% of the way fine. There will be some warnings that won't go away though.
There’s a tool called NaK that can set up Vortex and MO2.
