Crashed once over a couple of hours worth of playing
More broken than usual after latest update, needs tweaks to get working
Like people have suggested, you need Glorius Egroll's custom Proton (at least release Proton-6.14-GE-2) to get the launcher to work. Also, the latest update on 2021-10-14 broke the launcher, so you will get an exception like this in the launcher logs when trying to start the game:
"Formatted exception info: ImportError: DLL load failed: Success."
To solve this problem you will need to copy launchdarkly_client.pyd (for me it was in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Eve Online/SharedCache/tq/bin64/) to it's parent directory once the launcher is running and remove write permissions.

I had to install the amdgpu drivers (instead of just using the default ones) to make this work. Otherwise it froze on startup.
