You can use ProtonUp-Qt to add Luxtorpeda into Steam, then select it via the Compatibility tab for X-COM and it will let you pick OpenXcom Extended to run it with. Tracks playtime correctly too. Nice!

In my mind I blame the original authors as much, though, because there's no way they didn't know who they're selling it to.
