I've been running Stiebler4C_V16B1 version of HSie's fixes over GWX and NYGM under wine on Fedora Linux for about 5 years and on four different PC's. It's been a long time since I went through this! It took me a couple of tries: you have to follow the instructions very carefully

Get a nice clean install that you know runs properly. Apply the official v1.4 patch silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea.exe if you are not running the final vanilla version 1.4b.
Copy the whole sh3 directory structure to a new location so that when you mess up you can start over!

Copy the sh3.exe file to a working area.
Copy the batch file Patch_SH3.bat to the working area
open a windows command line using

wine cmd

navigate to the right folder and run the batch file Patch_SH3.bat to apply the patch to sh3.exe

You then need to copy the patched sh3.exe back, but it expects a whole bunch of changes to data files to support the patch...

There are a total of three instruction manuals included with the Stiebler4C_V16B1 mod. These need to be read, but they are VERY confusing.

Instructions_Stiebler4C_V16B1_Addon.rtf
Stiebler4C_patch_Docs.pdf
HSieOptionsSelector_Readme.txt

Copy the completely new data files into the appropriate area.

Use a text editor to copy and paste all the changes to existing data files

Preferably you should create a directory with all the modified files in it in the correct folder structure so you can use JSGME to switch the mod in and out.
Lastly make sure there are no mods installed AFTER HSie that are going to mess up any of your modified files!

Alternatively get a copy of Onealex from his discord site. He's done all the hard work for you and it used to install fine under Wine (better than Windows in fact).

The sheer frustration makes it all the sweeter when it finally works! You should see V16B1 or something similar in the bottm right corner of the games first menu screen after loading.
