For reference, I'm on Mint 19.1 Tessa. My main Steam install is on my primary hard drive. I have a separate physical drive for my games. That's where Skyrim and MO2 are located. I can't find anywhere in the MO2 settings for the Steam path. Lot of other path settings, but not that, unless I'm being blind (always a possibility).
Help?
If you find you can't access specific drives inside the proton environment then you need to designate them with a proton resource path variable... Don't ask specifics as I forget. Been long time since I last used MO2 even thought it is the best! I just don't play Bethesda like games atm. (waiting until TES6 or Starfield)

One more thing - I didn't buy Skyrim Anniversary Edition, but the SE version updates to use the new executable anyway, which means that you have to manually install the latest SKSE from github. Total pain, but it is nice to have Skyrim SE working again with all my mods.
I just said adding as non-steam game to the steam client as it typically is easier for most people.
There is also Bottles tool you can use which has proton plugged in.
The benefit with Skyrim SE is its 64bit and can load in more then 4096MB of textures without going to HDD buffering external tool route. It also has better lighting.
