DX11 through Proton is recommended. Vulkan on itself is not as stable and I get about 4-5 frames less.
gamemoderun %command% --skip-launcher --dx11
Sometimes when you manual save, the framerate drops to half. This can be fixed by manual saving again.
The game is in Early-Access as of writing this review, but it runs flawlessly. Multiplayer works. Native-like experience.
gamemoderun %command%
Works out of the box. The only issue is the one with the framerate desync that "slows down" time. It might be due to my hardware though.
Framerate seems to go down but doesn't seem to skip frames. I think what is going on is that the frames are all served one after the other without skipping to account for timeframe desynchronization. As a result, the perceived time appears to "slow down". If somebody would PM me with an explanation, I would be happy to change my report.
No other issues whatsoever.
The game runs great on current Proton Experimental. Fonts are close to the real thing. Stability is close to excellent.
Maybe 2-4 fps less on average, in contrast to playing through Windows.
No connectivity issues, ping is great and stable.
Use
%command% -provider Portal
for using your old Arena.net Account, instead of the Steam Account.
The experience is stable enough on KDE+Wayland, the mouse has no significant input lag as of KDE 6.0 update. Overall, good experience.
gamemoderun %command% --use-d3d11
Alt+Tab into KDE desktop and then back to the game tremendously slows down the framerate. It usually fixes itself with one or two more Alt+Tab presses.
Rarely, the mouse will be locked into a specific horizontal boundary if you use gamescope on borderless windowed mode.
Take into consideration that, as of March of 2024, the game's stability is still debatable and is being reported by Windows and Linux users alike.

Runs flawlessly even without tinkering.
I made [libgcc_s.so.1] file in the bin/ file invisible, by adding a (.) in front. It works after that.
Works flawlessly with Proton 6.3-8. My framerate is better than of that under Windows.
The game needs the "Proton BattlEye Runtime" installed. You will find it after searching for it in the Steam library search bar.
With a decent CPU, the game runs perfectly. Anti-cheat works. No disconnects. No crashes. Native-like experience.
gamemoderun %command% --disable-gpu
