thanks to these two following guides, I've used along the way

EtG Modding Guide [mtgmodders.gitbook.io]

Introduction

video version

the setup takes place in the SteamDeck Destop Mode
which you can enter by click Steam button > Power > Switch to Desktop Mode

Install Enter the Gungeon

1/ Use Proton

to have the game in ".exe" version
I've tried install mod with the Linux version, but it's not working

in my opinion, any Proton version would do
in this guide, I will use Proton 9.0.2

open Steam > Enter the Gungeon > Properties > Compatibility > Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool

2/ Click install

install R2Modman

3/ Download the AppImage

from the ebkr/r2modmanPlus Github [github.com]
the latest version at the record time is 3.1.4.9 [github.com]

4/ Organize AppImage and make it executable

move the AppImage in "/home/deck/Applications/"

right click > Open Terminal Here > enter following commands

chmod u+x r2modman-3.1.49.AppImage ls -l

5/ Create a shortcut

this is my preference, not required

enable Show hidden files

download and put the icon image in "/home/deck/.local/share/icons/"

create the shortcut in "/home/deck/.local/share/applications/"

you can create the shortcut by right click
Create New > Link to Application
> in General tab; change name / insert an icon
> in Application tab; change name / browse AppImage location
> click Ok

right click on the shortcut > Open file Kate > add Categories=Game
result would look like this

[Desktop Entry] Categories=Game Comment[en_US]= Comment= Exec=/home/deck/Applications/r2modman-3.1.49.AppImage GenericName[en_US]= GenericName= Icon=/home/deck/.local/share/icons/r2modman.png MimeType= Name[en_US]=R2Modman AppImage Name=R2Modman AppImage Path= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username=

if done correctly, you would see the shortcut in Game section
