In case this can help anyone, this solution did not seem to work for me as I got a blank screen on most servers and the ones that did open were extremely laggy (think of 1 fps every 30 seconds). I did find however that using lutris it works fine, it comes with its own installer script
lutris.net/games/byond/
caveats:
1. The installer will ask you to download the standalone installer for WebView2, which won't work, the one you need is the boostrapper one mentioned on the first post.
2. I tested 3-4 other servers to see the performance, on most of them I got a message that my ckey was already logged and that I should logout at the risk of being banned. I did not get this problem at goon.
3. Although it still has glitches and lags, performance seems to be way better than most virtual machines.
This was tested on mint 22.1 / kernel 6.11.0-29-generic
