You may have to do it twice to get it to work. Just extract the contents of the folder within the zip file you downloaded into your Fallout New Vegas folder. If you do, then congratulations, you have successfully accomplished this step. You should now have a FalloutNV_backup.exe file in your folder. If it gives you an error, run it a second time. Not the Data folder, the one with FalloutNV.exe in it. Unzip the FalloutNVPatch.exe file into your /.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas (or wherever Steam put your install) folder.

I also use PPA's to keep up with the latest stable for Mono, Python, and my video drivers, which tend to be a common source of issues. I am currently using the Proton 3.16-4 Beta, however I've also done this in the Proton 3.7-8 stable as well. This might be helping with some of the stutter issues.
