Can't see anything in the game
A few seconds into the game, the entire view is replaced by a pure black circle on a pure white background, making it completely unplayable except for the menus.

Works like a charm, OOTB

Very short fps drops during some terrain rendering (revealing terrain by looking from a cliff or entering some planets).
Very minor bug with the sound settings: they may reset if they are changed and applied in the main menu instead of being changed during a game session.

Runs great out the box!
For some reason, there is no audio when starting the game, but this only lasts around 20 seconds, then it returns.

Funciona perfectamente
Instalar y jugar, no he tenido que hacer nada. En mi caso, funciona a 150-160fps jugando en 2K y todos los gráficos en ultra

Everything works perfectly as if it was running native

After updating to Worlds part 2 the game briefly shows the HelloGames logo and crashes. Delete the files nvngx_dlssg.dll sl.dlss_g.dll sl.pcl.dll vulkan-1.dll from the folder binaries and the game starts and run well

Runs perfectly out of the box.
Started playing after the Worlds Part II update. Mods are working too. Did not test controller support.

Worked out of the box
I've actually had tests with No Man's Sky in Linux Mint, Debian 12, and Fedora. It ran well in Linux Mint with just some slight video lag every now and then. In Debian 12, I was extremely impressed with the performance. Arguably it might have even been a touch better than Fedora. I just had some quirks with the OS and other applications I use that I got tired of trying to resolve. In Fedora it also runs extremely well out of the box. I believe at least for me it is at least equal to how it ran for me in Windows 11, although I feel like it runs better. To be fair, however, I haven't ran NMS in Windows in some time, and I noticed the game loads faster now, so I suspect some performance boosts have been made since the last time I ran it in Windows.

Funciona correctamente
Por ahora no tuve inconvenientes, funciona perfecto y fluido con un excelente rendimiento, hay algunas texturas un poco rotas pero nada grave.

Works very well, but did have issues with certain driver versions
Driver version can cause issues
Game seems to work without any real hassle. I did experince one major issue: a previous version of nvidias drivers cuased space travel to instantly tank to 15 fps and stutter like crazy. I resolved this at the time by reverting to an older graphics driver and waiting for a new itteration which upon testing was free of this error.
TLDR: if you have any issues with stutter it may be driver related, try a different version and see if it helps.

Game works perfectly fine, same with Steam Deck.
Kind of a two-in-one for this. Tested this game about a year or two ago on Deck. Works fine on low. Might get a small freeze when entering space, but it goes away. On a regular PC, it's fine.

Runs beautifully @ ~60FPS/5120x1440.
Bluetooth XBox controller needs to be on and connected before launching the game.
About a month ago loading my main save as resulted in Automatic Fish Traps being invisible/non-interactable. Game still recognizes them as being there.
Lately, when using Photomode, the game is hardfreezing for about 5 seconds. Prior to about a month ago this was never an issue. I've only ever seen this issue when playing through Heroic when it would hardfreeze for up to a minute.
With the exception of an issue with my Automatic Fish Traps, I've had no truly significant issues. The issue with Photomode only seems significant considering this was never an issue prior to a month ago.
Good game
Minium graphics settings. Frame rate starts out well below 20 fps, and it drops sharply over the next couple minutes of play to sub-10 fps.
DRI_PRIME=1 LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

On very rare occasions the game will lock up upon attempting to load the save. Does not lock up the entire PC, only the game.
On some rare occasions, opening the game after booting the PC will cause all menus to be completely white and unreadable/unuseable . Closing the game and opening it again will fix this. I do not know why this happens.
I use Proton Experimental as the default choice for all my games. Issues are rare and obvious before loading a save game. Sometimes after booting the PC up and launching the game for the first time there will be a long loading time and when the game finally loads into the main menu, everything will be white. If you try to load a save the game will lock up. Closing the game and re-opening it will solve this issue. I do not know why; it is possibly related to shader-caching.

After leaving the game screen (e.g. alt-tab), sometimes when you return to the game the framerate will be horrendous (normally 65~ now 5 fps); it remains low for the rest of the session. FPS returns to normal after rebooting the game.
I've only tested this with the borderless and fullscreen settings.

No Man's Sky crashing when taking picture
The game crashed, I lost my main save because of this and I can't do the Titan expedition

Looks like a memory leak

The game runs perfectly on my machine
No issues, no tinkering, just works.

Sometimes stuck in the initial loading screen, requiring a PC restart. Other than that, works OOTB.
gamemoderun %command%
Only way to fix being stuck on the initial loading screen was to restart my PC. Fixed it 100% of the time.

Triste não poder participar da expedição e ainda perder meu salvamento pricipal
Crash when taking a photo using my "x" on PC. Without this photo taking feature, I can't move from the spot in the "TITAN" expedition and I also lost my save reinstalling the game is not synchronizing with the steam cloud, I started the expedition from my main save

It's totally playable beside some weird artefacts when interacting with objects / npcs
When interacting with objects / npcs everyting but the selection interface turn black.
If I play online, I lose a good 15-20 FPS

Worked without any issues, and VR using wired ALVR worked too

Runs perfectly out the box on latest CachyOS builds

Plays great, no tinkering needed
Performance is excellent, I have it capped to 144fps at 1440p Ultra and it stays there.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%

Gameplay is identical to Windows gameplay. Experienced no problems with both multiplayer and singleplayer.
I've yet to figure out if this problem is because I'm using Linux or because of shortcomings of the game, but I haven't been able to connect to the Online Discovery Services that let you upload discovered planets and other stuff since I started playing on Linux. There's a chance that the servers are overloaded on the game's end, or it could be a problem I just don't know how to fix yet on my end.
Game works wonderfully and can be enjoyed with no hassle!

Works well with ALVR & Proton Hotfix
Able to boot, play, save and use the hyperdrive, VR experience is greatly improved with the newest update. RTX 4080 Mobile + i9-13980HX with NVIDIA prime.

sometimes a lot of players can lag the game a bit but that also happened on Windows
On the most recent update as of this date, trying to enable Mangohud crashes the game just as it enters the main menu. Otherwise, no bugs to report.

Doesn't launch
Tried proton hotfix, proton experimental and GE-Proton9-24 but it didn't launch with any of them, also tried adding RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command%
to the launch options
Possibly runs better than when I play it on windows 10.

Requires driver update to 550 or higher
A frame appears for a couple of seconds, then disappears. Looks like the Worlds Part II update broke everything.

RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command%
Used experimental and added the launch option. Booted up and runs great. No issues at all.
