I don't think there's a guide for your specific use case, but it's essentially no different from running any other windows installer on Linux. You will have to set up Wine (a guide is on their website) and once that's done, it's basically just double-clicking the setup.exe.
no brother thats not how it works , because fitgirl repacks are extremely compressed since they are sent off through torrent , its not like you can just double click the setup.exe i would suggest you to see some reddit posts regarding this topic if my comment didn't explain it properly :) https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxCrackSupport/comments/yqfirv/how_to_install_fitgirl_or_dodi_windows_repacks_in/
I'm not sure what problem you are having when you say 'nothing works'. I've installed several FG repacks over the years including one only a couple of weeks ago. Open and terminal and cd to the directory that contains your FG download, then:
I separate the winetricks lines as sometimes winetricks gets overwhelmed if you call two many functions. I can assure you that this does work, though the repacks sometimes take ages to install. Personally I use rutracker as my source as the games come pre-made with wine.
My guess is that this is the too complicated part.
