Fonts render differently than they did on Windows, but that's a minor issue.
You are forced to run the Native version, because you cannot join the VAC secured servers if playing on Proton. Overall, runs better than on Windows!

Used the following fix for the Native version: https://github.com/wayzaction/gmod-linux-fix
Some texture glitches, weird skyboxes on certain maps, fonts render differently and unicode characters missing. Also, the flashlight doesn't illuminate the props, but some of them can be illuminated and ragdolls are visible when used the flashlight on them.
Raw input can't be turned off and some server functions behave differently. Also, there is surely minor differences with how the engine recognizes the mouse position.
It is recommended to use the x86_64 branch and gmod-linux-fix for improving the performance on the Native Linux build.
Do NOT use Proton, since it has slower map loading times when Native loads them instantly. Although if you want to use the mods that go beyond LUA and use DLL files, then you have to use the Proton version, but be prepared for the different loading times than Native.
Overall, the game is pretty playable on Native, and I did not encounter any serious issues other than some minor artifacts that do not affect my experience!

Also able to play Online Deathmatch without problems, and the game itself is a classic.
Everything worked OOTB! I was even able to play the game from start to finish without issues.
Guess the Native version did not fail me after all! Now I can finally experience the classic without severe issues on Linux.
Played the entire game using the Windows version, and didn't encounter any serious issues!
Everything worked flawlessly, and even could play the Workshop maps. On top of that, this game is a gem!

There are minor graphical bugs, but there's nothing to worry about.
Since the game works on both Native and Proton, you're good playing this gem on Linux! Also, it is recommended to add -vulkan in the launch options for better experience (and also performance).

It just works, and quite better than on Windows!
It just works! No tinkering required, as it works without any severe issues and performs better than on Windows!
I haven't played Co-op tho, but everything else works flawlessly! Either way, you'd be good playing this on Linux.
