Occasional blank screen in matches on native version. Fixed when I switched to Proton

No problems. Native version on cinnamon had issues with the mouse
More stable on Proton, but more performant on native
When zooming in (spyglass, binoculars, gun zoom), my framerate plummeted. This can be avoided by only zooming with binoculars and only for just enough time to read the distance to target.
I also experienced an intense FPS drop when a ship shot quite a few guns point blank. I suspect that this was an issue related to number of particles within close distance, but I did not experience it on native so I thought I would post it here.
At the time of me posting this review, I'm not sure if I should recommend native or Proton.
There are two major bugs on native: random crashing on objective completion and random blackscreening from object interaction. The blackscreening can be fixed by abandoning the match and rejoining using the rejoin button, but it pulls you out of the game for a dozen seconds. An AI crewmate will replace you until you rejoin in the case of either bug, but it still interrupts your game flow.
