Works perfect by default
OpenSuse Tumbleweed rules! Worked perfectly, no tinkering, just with the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
Works even better than on Windows
No tinkering at all, the trick to get all done nicely with Ubisoft is to simply try again loading the game after rebooting the machine. Also, if that trick does not work, activate the CD key in Ubisoft Connect using a Windows VM. Works like a charm.
Regarding performance, I'm playing on Ultra, on 3440x1440 screen, with 75-90 fps constantly. Cutscenes are at 30-60 fps, but that's happening on Windows as well.
God, how much I love openSUSE!
Selecting the best settings from the beginning is the best solution
Don't use the native version, switch to Compatibility Mode, then select Proton Experimental. When playing the game, change to start always with DX11. Avoid OpenGL and also Wayland, as it will give a lot of stuttering.
The usual refinements: avoid Wayland, avoid the native install of ETS2/ATS, go to comptability mode - Proton Experimental, always select DX11 instead of OpenGL, then just enjoy the game. I have 70-80 fps on ultra settings, compared to windows is just 5-10% behind. Anyway, this game (ETS2, not ATS) got borked because of the indolence of the developers, so don't use it as a reference on playing other games on Proton/Steam.
