Four crashes during my playthrough, with three of them coming during the first few hours in LS. Crashes reduced after launching the game through big picture but that might be a coincidence.
I first played this on Xbox a couple of months after launch when it was a bug-filled mess. It's by no means perfect now but it's so much better.

На мой вкус лучше отключить "Классическое освещение" в настройках, местами выглядит как будто забагованное (вытекают глаза). Хотя, возможно, так задумано.

Works well out of the box, only the initial setup requires touch screen and keyboard input
Initial setup requires Rockstar account login and accept some terms and conditions. I have no issue navigating around using the trackpad and on-screen keyboard.
After the initial setup, everything works flawlessly. Default controller and graphic settings work well.

Старая добрая GTA SA

after you installed and logged in in the rockstar launcher the first time there is nothing bothering the expierence. The start of sessions can also take a little longer than you might expect because of the launcher start.

Experimental and 9.04 did not work - launcher fails. Forced to use Proton Hotfix and it booted
Use Proton Hotfix
Error: Unable to launch game, please try reinstalling the game.

Worked out of the box
I completed the game and didn't encounter any issues.

Just pressed install and play. No extra launch options, no custom proton versions, it works dare I say it flawlessly, or as flawless as this "definitive edition" can get. I did not tweak any performance settings, the game hovers between 40-50 fps and burns through the battery in 2-3 hours. I recommend installing the radio restoration mod.

gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Aiming is fixable by setting vsync off and fps to unlocked, control your fps with mangohud

-dx12
Game will crash with "fatal error" if attempting to launch without adding -dx12 as a launch command.

Just as buggy as Windows, nothing new.
Its insane how bad the bugs in some of this game are, but I can confirm all that I experienced people have also experienced on native Windows and even consoles.

Works the same as on Windows
Game likes to stay visible, need to alt+tab to a second different window for the game to hide.
Has the same bugs as on Windows.
Modding using the manual placement of .pak files works flawlessly as well, e.g. to restore all of the missing songs from the radios.

I installed the game through the Epic Store and Heroic. After the first launch and installation of the Rockstar Launcher, you need to copy/create a start.bat file in the installation folder where the EXE file is (https://pastebin.com/mv6JdQ1X) so that you can start the Rockstar Launcher without any error messages. Then you need to set it so that the BAT file is started instead of the EXE. The Rockstar Launcher will then start without any problems. Game works perfect with 45 FPS, FXAA+, low Shadow, High Texture.
The same works with GTA 3 and VC, you just need to point to the correct EXE in the BAT file.

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
FPS drop on some places like clothing store
I did use a command to enble DLSS (curiosity purposes) but you actually don't need any command, you can just install the game and enjoy it as is and I still got 100+ FPS (which is more than enough)

RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 3840 -H 2160 -F fsr -- gamemoderun mangohud %command%
The game is not optimized in any platform
Rarely crashes when alt tabbed
The performance is bad like Windows and mods don't fix, but make the game better. Installed some mods from https://gist.github.com/justGesha/8d5e1a8fec1937cde31008.

Stuck on Rockstar splash screen
gamemoderun %command%
It plays the opening video (GTA-SA logo and some credits) quite in a blocky way with normal audio and it stops on the Rockstar splash screen.
You need start on desktop mode for first time

Switch Resolution to 800 x 600
Rockstar Launcher was causing conflicts, I found if I change the resolution to 800x600 in Lutris it will load vulkan at 800x600 but then it will come back to my normal resolution. This somehow pass Rockstart Launcher bug and the game is able to play.

Stuck at Rockstar Launcher

Rockstar keeps reporting "Steam failed to initialise. Please verify that the Steam Client is running and try again". Tried reinstalling, different versions or proton, deleting the proton files, no dice. Even tried different Wifi connections.
Same appears to be happening for other Rockstar titles. They were working fine and now it just seems impossible to get past this error.
Works like a charm out of the box.
It sometimes takes a while to stream in high quality models from the low poly LOD ones. Most noticeable when flying and/or driving at a high speed. This also plagued Vice City DE.
Achieved 100% in this title as with all the other 3 GTA-DE games with ~50 hours of playtime across all the games. Absolutely stellar work by R*.
30 fps lock
slowdown in yankton woods 25 fps

Rockstar launcher gives this error "Failed to verify game files"
Installed rockstar games launcher
very dissapointing will stick with mobile verson
gamemoderun %command%
slight checkerboard effect on shadows, mostly noticeable on vehicles and changing AA does not affect it.
Shadows are weird but that's it
I've limited FPS and TDP
Probably needs internet access due to rockstar launcher
No need to do nothing, all settings works, windowed, full screen, different resolutions, etc.
No issues at all. Played perfectly well.
Had an issue where the rockstar launcher would not connect previously, this seems to have sorted itself out now
Game seems to work fine now

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
Used PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% for DLSS. Played on Proton Experimental.

Noticeable artifacts in cutscenes
solid 80fps at medium settings but felt like refresh rate was locked at 30 when moving camera.
