Use ~/.steam/root instead of ~/.steam about modorganizer2-linux-installer

[rockerbacon]

In Debian based distros ~/.steam/root is just a symlink to ~/.steam.

Could you tell me your distro and what are the contents in ~/.steam/root? This might indicate other things also need to be changed to ~/.steam/root

Arch. ~/.steam/root is a simlink to ~/.local/share/Steam for me.

Here's the contents:

Yes, this problem affects more than just custom Proton versions. All occurrences of $HOME/.steam must be replaced with a readlink of $HOME/.steam/root.
