For anyone trying to get this working on linux I figured it out with the help of claude. It's working for me on Nobara but should work on any distro I'd imagine.

Steps

1. Install MelonLoader using the Linux installer Download the Linux installer from https://github.com/LavaGang/MelonLoader.Installer/releases/latest/download/MelonLoader.Installer.Linux and run it. Point it at My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend.exe in your Windows game folder. Select version 0.7.2 and do not enable nightly builds.
2. Add the game to Steam In Steam: "Add a Game" → "Add a Non-Steam Game" → Browse to My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend.exe
3. Force Proton Right-click the game in Steam → Properties → Compatibility → Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" → Select Proton Experimental
4. Set launch options In Properties → Launch Options, add: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%
5. Launch the game once The first launch will take a few minutes while MelonLoader sets itself up. You should see a terminal window pop up with MelonLoader output. If the game is stuck on a black screen, alt-tab — the terminal is likely behind the game window. Let the game reach the main menu, then close it.
   
6. Install the mod Download Mods.zip from https://github.com/IkariDevGIT/MDRGMoanMod/releases and extract into the game's Mods/ folder so it looks like:
   1. Mods/MoanMod/
   2. Mods/MoanMod.dll
      
7. Relaunch the game, you should get a notification at the main menu about the mod which indicates it is now installed. You should also see "1 mod loaded" in the MelonLoader terminal.
