Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Steam Linux Runtime 3.0, Set launch options
"/PATH/TO/STEAM/LIBRARY/steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.sh" %command% -gl -gl_enablesamplerobjects
Steam on linux doesn't allow users to select the beta version of a game (which is how you're supposed to launch csgo_legacy), so the launch options I included will allow you to play CSGO.
The -gl options are because a recent update has made valve games run vulkan by default which has some bugs: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8472
I also used Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) because the native version doesn't load textures on a few commmunity maps.

WARNING: DO NOT switch back and forth between proton versions to compare preformance. Denuvo will ban you from launching the game for 24 hours if you switch proton versions a few times. Just set it to Proton 9.0-4 then set your launch options and avoid tinkering.
