The next step is to add ModOrganizer.exe to Steam as a non-steam game. In Steam, click Games, then "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library". The latest version of Steam should use the regular File Browser from your system, older versions of Steam had a built-in file browser.

Sovngarde requires MO2 to point to the vanilla Skyrim install directory in Steam, which is actually in a hidden directory by default (/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common). By default, Wine/Proton applications do not have visibility of .(dot) files and folders, so we need to tweak it via Protontricks. Of course your install path could differ if you have configured your Library differently, and the path will be different if you installed Skyrim to SD Card instead of the internal disk.

You can also decide to lock the FPS here, or you can leave it and lock the FPS/Refresh via the Steam Deck itself. To do this in MO2, we can double-click the "SSE Display Tweaks" mod entry in MO2:

On Steam Deck, I limit FPS and Refresh rate to 40, and it does a pretty good job of maintaining that. If you want absolutely no fluctuations at all, you'd likely have to lock to 30fps, but I find sticking it at 40Hz/FPS, and then turning off the FPS counter lets me just get on with the game, feeling fluid enough that I don't think about the FPS any more.
