The game works nearly perfectly, if set to direct3d mode (enable PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 flag)
Game works well at first. However, it is highly recommended to enable PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1. Else there are some problems with switching to full screen. Also some textures are missing which can make the game practically unplayable (some platforms do not appear but the ground keeps being black)
Switching back from full screen to windowed would freeze the game. However, PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 option solves the problem.
Controller setting was too sensitive with Logitech F310
Runs perfectly! Imprtant Note: With AMD card Mesa 23.1 or higher has to be installed or Text boxes will be missing. NVidia is fine.
Runs perfectly! With modern Proton the direct3d flag is not needed. Imprtant Note: With AMD card Mesa 23.1 or higher has to be installed or Text boxes will be missing. NVidia is fine (see my old report)
Works well on Linux and Deck
Flickering when changing back to windowed. Window was very small when started. Nothing big because restarting the game fixes it but can be annoying
Better than on Switch
The game is fast paced and fun to play. People who like side scrollers and anime will surely like it
It was like Gamepad was pressed permanently
Important notes:
I had to do the following Workaround: edit `${USER}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/LUMINOUS AVENGER iX/win/save/gv_config.ini` and set the gamepad buttons to mostly zero. Especially the analog section is important
``` [AnalogCalibration] LStickUp=0,0,0 LStickDown=0,0,0 LStickRight=0,0,0 LStickLeft=0,0,0 RStickUp=0,0,0 RStickDown=0,0,0 RStickRight=0,0,0 RStickLeft=0,0,0
```
then us a tool like AntiMicro to map the gamepad keys to your keyboard keys . This works fine
Had to use Proton 5.0.0 or else game won't start
TL;DR:
- Edit `${USER}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/LUMINOUS AVENGER iX/win/save/gv_config.ini and set most entries for gamepad mappings to 0.
- Use a tool like AntiMicro -Use Proton 5.0.0
No Problems encountered. Seems to work like intended
I only tested shortly but it seems to work flawlessly
The game works natively but as other reported but the Proton version works with gamepads
The game works natively but as other reported it does not work well with an F310 or other Logitech Gamepads. However, the Proton version does well with the input devices. So I would recommend using that instead.
Game works well overall and performance is good, although I had a tough start.
Nevertheless there were some Issues and I post the solution here for other Linux users on SteamPlay:

--For some reason the Game can't create the folder containing the save/setting files. You can see that when you try to make a new game in the start screen pick an empty save file, and then will be prompted back. Solution: create the folder by hand e.g. with "mkdir -p ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/889510/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Senran\ Kagura\ Burst\ ReNewal" or your file manager of your choice like nautilus or dolphin.

-- esynch makes trouble like in this issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/32 Disable esynch with adding: "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1" to Properties -> Set Launch Options or when starting in command line "env PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 steam -console steam://rungameid/889510"
########################################################
-- For some reason the game crashes after some time in Full Screen mode if one Alt-Tabs out. Either stay in the game or use windowed mode
