Works natively out of the box but I highly recommend using proton compatibility layer for better even greater stability!

The game is pretty much the same as EuroTruck Simulator 2. It works natively with OpenGL, but for me the performance was a little stuttery, with a little too low fps. I highly recommend you using a version of proton such as: proton 9.0-4. If you still encounter some issues, you can try running with proton-experimental, proton hotfix, or a custom version of proton-GE.
It runs decently, significantly less fps than Windows, but you need to add launch options
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink LD_PRELOAD="" SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 mangohud game-performance %command% -nojoy -novid -high -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system -maxVRAM=7168
Fullscreen is causing the fps to drop.
There are some situations where the frametime starts fluctuating randomly but it gets back to normal most of the time...
As I already said before, there are moments when the fps and frametime start to drop without any reason making the experience bad.
I would say that for someone who currently wants the best performance out of their hardware, I would recommend sticking with Windows for the time being. However, Linux is getting better and better on the gaming side, and that's noticeable over time. Me personally, a year ago when I tried Linux (Arch-Linux), I couldn't play cs2 at all because of stuttering and input lag and that has changed now and in a pleasant and surprising way for me. I also recommend to try distributions like CachyOS, Bazzite or even Nobara for an out of the box experience without too many headaches
2nd time I report for this game and this time it works same if not better than windows!!
LD_PRELOAD="" gamescope -w 1280 -h 960 -S stretch -r 144 -f --rt --adaptive-sync --force-grab-cursor -- %command%
Last time I wasn't using gamescope and I was having really bad frametimes in this game, but after installing and setting up gamescope in the launch options, the game is so, so so much better in terms of stability and smoothness. You can also change the resolution, refresh rate, adaptive sync to your liking depending on your specs.

It works natively on OpenGL, but for me the experience is kinda stuttery, and a lower fps compared to DXVK. I highly recommend using one of the proton versions such as 9.0-4 which is the most stable. If you still encounter some issues while running with proton, you can try running proton experimental, hotfix or a custom version made by Glorious Eggroll (Proton-GE).
Unfortunately as far as i know you can't play online because of the battleye anticheat... I'm not sure if it will be fixed in the future or if there are some workarounds to make it work...
So I installed the game through Heroic Games Launcher and made it work by following this wiki on github: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Rockstar-Games-from-Epic-Games After that all i have done was just running the game and it basically works perfectly with no issues, however if you want to play online, unfortunately you won't be able to for now... Also make sure to install the custom version of proton correctly so you can select it before launching the game!
