Yes ONLY if you play the BASE GAME, without mods. With mods, you may have issues, which you may be able to fix the same way I have.

Running the game at Fullscreen or Borderless would crash the game when Alt-Tabbing. Switching to Windowed (which was still borderless) fixed it.
The game was stuttering heavily every few seconds, from 60 FPS to around 30 FPS, with no discernible pattern. I used a combination of Feral's Gamemode, GE-Proton, and added rules to enable performance mode on my GPU, as apparently it was running in a sort of "balanced" mode. I believe this last one fixed the heavy stuttering.
I recommend (at least for AMD GPU's) to check if your GPU is running on a "balanced" mode, and not a "performance" mode. This is why I was having heavy stuttering issues on MODDED SERVERS. I recommend checking this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/16xa8io/stuttering_and_frame_drops_in_games/ to learn how to fix this issue.
The first time I installed the game, it crashed after 20 minutes. Setting up vm.max_map_count=1048576 fixed the issue, despite the count already being that value.
I have only selected "Excellent" because I have managed to fix the heavy stuttering issues I was facing initially. HOWEVER, the BASE GAME, without mods, ran perfectly from out of the box. The issues only started happening on modded servers for some reason.
I initially played with Steam's Proton Experimental, and do not know if GE-Proton is better or not; however, it is what I use. I also recommend getting Feral's Gamemode and adding the launch parameters to the game, check the "vm.max_map_count" and how to set it "1048576" as this is required to run the game without crashing after a few minutes. Furthermore, don't forget to check if your GPU is running on a "balanced" mode, which could cause the same heavy stuttering issues I was having.
The BASE GAME ran perfectly from the very beginning (perhaps only the crash fix needed to be applied for the base game).
