This can be done for example by creating a symlink

- Note the Linux-BeamNG.drive userfolder location (this is usually found in `~/.local/share/BeamNG.drive`) and rename it, for example to `BeamNG.drive_old`
- Note the Proton-BeamNG.drive userfolder location (this is usually found in `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/284160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/BeamNG.drive`)
- Create a symlink between both userfolders `ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/284160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/BeamNG.drive ~/.local/share`
