Install Balatro Mods on Linux Mint Steam

Open Steam

Select Library -> Balatro -> Gear Icon -> Properties

On LAUNCH OPTIONS put:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%

Make Temp Path

mkdir ~/Desktop/temp
cd ~/Desktop/temp

Download Latest Lovely

LATEST=$(curl -s https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/releases |grep lovely-x86_64 | head -n1 | sed -e 's/.\+href="//' | sed -e 's/".\+//')
wget $LATEST
unzip lovely*
rm lovely*
# copy version to your common/Balatro path
mv version.dll ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro

Install smods

# find your Roaming/Baltro path and go there
ROAMINGPATH=$(find ~/ -name "Balatro" | grep Roaming)
cd $ROAMINGPATH
mkdir Mods
cd Mods
git clone https://github.com/Steamodded/smods.git

Install mods

Download any mod and extract it to your Roaming/Baltro/Mods/ path.

Optional Symlink Mods in Downloads

This will let you get back to your Mods path without having to browse through over a dozen sub directories. I like to put it in my Downloads directory, because that's where mods are getting saved anyway.

cd ~/Downloads
ln -s $ROAMINGPATH/Mods Balatro_Mods
ls -la

Run Balatro

Should show a command line and some other loading stuff.
