Works smoothly.
I don't have the Director's Cut version, but it looks like you can't find the original on Steam anymore.
The game just runs. No tinkering about or anything needed.

Runs Perfectly
Even has native DS5 wireless support, although haptics are only via wired

Runs out of the box!
Simply installed and ran the game. Works perfectly!

Works perfectly

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DISPLAY="" %command%
HDR wollte anfangs nicht funktionieren, aber mit der angefügten Startoption funktioniert es ohne Probleme. Keinerlei grafische Bugs, sehr hohe FPS mit meiner 9070. Top.

Sem problema algum.
Não tive problema algum para jogar. Já tinha jogado recentemente esse jogo no Windows pelo client da Epic, mas agora, comprei ele pela Steam no Fedora e rodando melhor do que no Windows.
Works perfectly

Works perfectly out of the box.
No tinkering at all, just installed and played.

I tried every advice on ProtonDB, the game still just doesn't launch
No amount of tinkering helps, the game is unplayable on Linux

LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libgamemodeauto.so.0" VK_LOADER_LAYERS_ENABLE=VK_LAYER_MANGOHUD_overlay_x86_64 gamemoderun %command%
Couldn't get game to progress past the star loading screen without forcing Experimental. Game doesn't seem to fully use the GPU, but still holds 55-60 FPS at almost all times.

Works Perfectly out of the box
no tinkering required
LD_PRELOAD="" PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr %command% -dx12
Older versions of Steam did not have problems. Recent versions have caused unplayable FPS loss and stuttering anywhere from 20-40 minutes into the game, forcing a restart. The LD_PRELOAD="" commandline workaround handles this problem.
Probably related to this bug: Unified DXVK/VKD3D lag timebomb in most games if compiled from git #4436
For 1440p, I cap fps to 60 to keep the experience smoother. My favorite settings are: resolution 1440p, fullscreen, vsync off, quality low, streaming memory high, motion blur off, ambient occlusion off, shadows low, AMD FSR 1.0 ultra quality. This gets me ~50-60 fps consistently on this old machine everywhere and the game looks great.
I used to be able to play this game without FSR on higher quality settings (up from defaults) with the same hardware. Recent changes to Steam and the software stack have killed FPS on nearly everything.

A large block of color on the screen for several seconds when starting up, the the game starts as normal
When using Proton 9.0+, game crashes immediately on startup

First all, under Linux, you need ProtonUp-Qt (the flatpak version is just fine) then install the GE-Proton9-26 or above and you need to associate the installed module to Steam, Heroic, Lutris, whatever you have pre installed. In this case, after that, you just have to open Steam and go under the game properties in order to activate the compatibility mode with the GE Proton you just had in. If your steps are correct, you should be able to do that even from the Big Picture mode with a gamepad! That's why, my verdict is: console-like experience. Obviously, don't forget to use the FSR Balanced or Quality settings at 1080p for the best framerate results. It's a great game, it runs flawlessly at the second time, considering how huge is in terms of textures and shaders preload. So, be patient and precise under Linux ;-)

Perfect out of box experience.
Install and play.

I have the OG Death Stranding (bought it shortly after release) on my steam account, and not the directors cut, but it also runs out of the box without any tweaking

Game runs great now. It stutters here and there, I'll have to look into it. Nothing dealbreaking though.
Stuttering when action starts happening.

Game runs fine.
Game installed without issue and runs like a dream. No issues to report.

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr gamemoderun %command% -dx12
Was crashing all the time when going into map view. Seems to be stable with the listed settings. Been stable for about an hour now but was crashing after 20 minutes before switching to experimental.

gamepad not works in epic games version. downloaded from steam and all works fine
works better than on windows

Used 'NonSteamLauchers' to install Epic Games. Then had to go through the sign in and downloading process.
Dispite being capped to 30 FPS the game doesn't feel unbearable to play due to it's playstyle.
Works seamlessly
Excellent world building. Can't believe I enjoy being a courier.
Works perfectly.

Frequent freezes and stutters (especially with vehicles or boss sequences)
Not an enjoyable experience with all the crashes and preformance issues I got. Tried Steam's proton, experimental, GE but none fixed my issues. Played on lowest settings with FSR.
works out of the box

gamemoderun %command%
Also works perfect with window actions like switching virtual desktop, alt + tab or minimize.
