Fitgirl installers usually work on linux, some of them crash but it can be worked around with WINE_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1 (assuming you’re using a wine build based on valve’s tree). This also fixes a lot of old games crashing due to memory management issues and race conditions between threads.

I’ve often been having issues with FitGirl as well. Dodi repacks have always worked for me though.

If you don’t have bandwidth or storage restrictions, I’ll always recommend you pull directly from a scene release or a clean steam dump instead of a repack.

In my experience DODI installers tend to work slightly better than Fitgirl’s on Linux, but keep in mind that different games are compressed with different tools, and some of those tools inherently work better on Linux/Wine than others. The standard Ubisoft compression tool (more accurately it’s called a precompressor) has given me a lot of trouble on Linux, and every repacker is going to be using that same tool. Grabbing clean files and applying a crack yourself is always going to be the most compatible way.
