Quake II is on Steam so you may be able to run it with Proton. RTX doesn't currently work on Linux at all so you won't have any luck there.

This is incorrect. I've personally seen a steam when a guy was playing Quake II RTX on Linux (of course, with Nvidia proprietary driver).

I always thought RTX never worked on Linux, but TIL it does.

It does if the game utilizes Vulkan and the Vulkan Ray Tracing Extensions. This applies to both native Linux titles and Windows titles through Proton/Wine. It however does not apply to Windows titles that use DirectX through Proton / Wine + DXVK/VKD3D. I also believe this only applies to NVIDIA's proprietary drivers at this time.

The Native Linux build is available on Steam.

I'm using Ubuntu MATE and default GPU drivers. When i launch Quake II RTX in Linux: "No Ray Tracing capable GPU found". I have AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series.

Ray tracing support is still under development for AMD on Linux for both the open-source and proprietary implementation.
