With the native Linux version, I experienced graphical artefacts on certain screens (the fakeDOS boot screen, level start screens and level selection menus), so I tried the Windows version running under the latest proton and that worked a charm. Doing this also allows you to play DUSK HD, which the developers haven't ported to Linux. I highly recommend you play the game with the original graphics for your first playthrough though, it is the originally intended experience and in my opinion, it is essential for the proper DUSK experience.

Many of us, me included, experienced terrible, inconsistent framerates when playing online, singleplayer working perfectly. I believe that gamemode fixed this for me. I initially experienced crashes upon the game starting up using gamemode, but that has stopped for some reason, perhaps it was because of the tinkering (listed below) I did trying to fix the performance problems? I honestly don't know, this is confusing. I am using Proton experimental because the Steam overlay doesn't work under 9.0-4.
If you experience performance issues when playing online, try using gamemode. If that causes crashes, try this:
In Steam in your library under "Tools", install "Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime".
From u/averageArchLinuxNoob on Reddit:
- if you're using systemd-boot - Open your bootloader config (for example /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf).
- add intel_pstate=disable after rw, for example: options root=PARTUUID=XXXX rw intel_pstate=disable
- If you're using GRUB - go into sudo nano /etc/default/grub and add there the intel_pstate=disable, for example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rw intel_pstate=disable nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
