As for now works really well once passed the EAC issue, even in ultra-wide and 7.1 surround.
some video can go slow IF you forget to disable desktop effects.
Couldn't run the game at first, needed to recompil. glibc with "hash-sysv-compat" use flag as DT_HASH is not buit per default anymore and needed for easy anto-cheat
Still early in the game, still as for now it's a smooth ride even with EAC
It may runs out-of-the-box if your distro is shipped with a patched glibc for DT-HASH or if you didn't update to >2.36.
Not linux related, on ultra wide screen 5120x1440, menu are cropped and it can be hard to get a normal window resolution (let's say 1920x1080) as the auto detect is quite bad and only show weird resolution. You need get to go to the lowest resolution then up again to "unlock" more common ratio.
If it's your type of game it sould be ok to play with as much bug as on windows, since it's still early access. HDR was also crashing on win

Some shadow may not be drow correctly but some were too on windows
the mangohud part of the command may not be mandatory for you.
Used to work w/o that much issues, impossible to get it to launch since some change had being made (VR changes?)
Will try to get it to work again, if the steam deck can, a PC should be able to too...
Except for the listed bugs, the game runs smooth, even better than on win, (like instant draw of the items/quest wheel).
6.15-GE-2 (previous GE are OK too) as it comes pre-patched for SoT GloriousEggroll

In game voice chat doesn't work BOTH ways, you cannot talk even if it is detected, and you cannot hear players/crewmates.
Voice chat doesn't work, faction progression UI doesn't work, you get the XP and reward, but need to restart the game to see your level progression. It doesn't refresh at sell but also in dedicated sub-menu.
Depending if HDR and in-game chat is mandatory for you -- which 99% of the time should make the PEGI 12 a joke --, play on your linux, it is better.
Vanilla not working anymore either on proton 3.16.-9 or 6.15-GE-2 : the so fancy securom kicks in, preventing the launch
There is a high probability removing securom trough a patched .exe would work, but I wonder if there is any to be found?
Must work out of the box, I use Proton GE as default on steam, but quickly tried on the experimental one too and it was working fine.
Sill an early stage of the game, but no issues for the hours I play, I also had no issues some windows users reported as for now. Easy-anti cheat seems to work fine too. I do have FTTH and playing even outside the european server seems ok.
It is still not the final stage of the game, so may not work anymore later if the devs fumble something with easy anti-cheat for exemple. Still right now, it seems they do a good job at letting the players' base enjoy their game as they want.
With new epic lib, you now get kicked for "easy anticheat checksum error"

Work well globally, the few texture bugs that appeared after the stable release, that weren't present in the beta, are now gone again.

if let vanilla, without some launch options, user will run into a "out of memory" since last game patch. May depends on the number or threads the CPU is able to, lesser may not have issue.
Don't forget to have glibc with hash-sysv-compat flag or easy anti-cheat will NOT work. Nvidia users shouldn't have some of the few artefacts too, it seems to be an AMD issue. Lesser cores may not have the out of memory issue. Game was running nearly out-of-the-box before the very last update (at time of writing 11/18/2023) at least on proton experimental and w/o any need for extra launch option.
