They go in the same place. The Wine prefix for the game is in the compatdata folder.

I used symbolic links to point to My Games, which I put in my user folder.

Could you explain more? Im new to linux.

Window programs are run through a system of compatibility layers, the core of all this is Wine. Valve forks Wine to make Proton.

Wine/Proton provide a Windows environment so that programs can function correctly, find their files or other files they need, and provides a windows registry. Can also be used to make organizing some programs data more convenient. This environment is called a Wine prefix, in which you would find what you expect, C:\, Program Files, Users, Windows, etc.

Steam makes a prefix for each program by default. These prefixes by default are in the Compatdata folder in the Steamapps folder which is in the Steam folder. On Linux the default Steam folder is .Steam in your Home folder, I think. That .Steam folder might be a symbolic link. On Linux a file name that starts with a period, makes the file hidden. I recommend you have hidden files always visible on Linux.

The Wine prefix can be quickly accessed for a specific Steam managed program by clicking the cog on it's page in Steam. Go to Manage, Browse Local Files. Go up one level. In the Compatdata folder is a folder with the same name by default as the game's folder.

In the Wine prefix install the mods the same a you would on Windows. If the mod is in the form of an executable, then run it in the same prefix as the game.
