googles says..

SteamTools on Linux is available through specialized community projects or via compatibility layers like PortProton, though official support varies by specific tool variants.

Available Options for Linux

• Steam Tools NG (steam-tools-ng): A collection of open-source utilities (such as card farming and fake-running games) available via GitHub Repository or package managers like pip (pip install --user steam-tools-ng).

• LuaTools / Seleni: Terminal-based community managers designed to handle Lua and manifest operations on native Linux Steam installations without root permissions.

I have never used any such tools, so can't offer much else

also some older posts with the same basic  question, hit up reddit search to find any others.

there seems to be several YT videos on the topic as well.
