Thanks to @emawind84, i was able to install Discovery Freelancer at linux working correctly. I wrote article for that with pictures and exact dependencies used.
I found instructions very simple (i did them with initial nearly zero knowledge in Lutris and Wine) and reliable for reproducing, so hopefully it will live long and will be easy to update for maintenance.
P.S. this version of Linux installing uage does not have problems with switching accounts, patching the game and etc. We just use Discovery Launcher normally.
This update with applying properly dxdv v2.4 fixes issue with alt-tab, now it works reliably in full screen without needing gamescope or virtual desktop
Steam Deck user asked question regarding Lutris location at Steam Deck. Modified guid to include mentioning $HOME/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/wine path for them.
Changes to article should become visible within 10min.
+## Extra info - Limit Frame rate
+
+Some Discovery players need limiting their frame rate.
+You can do it by inserting desired framerate into Env variables of application `DXVK_FRAME_RATE=150` for example

+
+You can validate it works, by also injecting env var `DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,api` to see FPS in real time

The guide is updated. Clarified importance of using Lutris 0.5.16 version today. apparently 0.5.17 is not okay and requiring changes to other dependencies. Do use Lutris 0.5.16

+Another person `Amba` tried using 0.5.17 and it did not work because of issues to use Proton version we use later.
+So use exatly the mentioned version and make sure you have created clean Wine Prefix later and not reusing it from other versions.
