Playing on Linux (tried it on Linux Mint 21 and Pop! OS before) is much faster in terms of performance and loading speed than on Windows 10
Native game was set to be windowed at 1600x900 resolution but was bordered fullscreen with no way to change the resolution manually on Wayland GNOME. Switching to X11 GNOME resolves the issue altogether. GNOME version: 3.38
Switch to X11 GNOME if experiencing windowing/fullscreen issues on Wayland GNOME (at least for me it works, I forgot if I experienced a similar issue on Linux Mint or Pop! OS).
Recommended mods for those with similar hardware: CK2Plus and CleanSlate (or just CleanSlate) and submods that don't spawn a lot of characters or conduct a lot of checks/events in the background.
Much faster load time when playing on Linux in comparison to Windows 10/11
I use Openbox instead of GNOME now, so I do not know if there are any changes since my last report regarding windowing/fullscreen.

I only play singleplayer, so I don't know if multiplayer works on Linux. To have better performance at the cost of higher resource usage install "gamemode" and use my launch options, but make sure that no or a couple programs are running while playing.
Loading times when starting a scenario, new or from a save, are slower than on Windows.
Once you successfully tinkered the game, the game has similar or slightly better performance on Linux than on Windows.

Follow the instructions from this link: https://github.com/GitoMat/Shogun2-Linux-Fix After you compiled and installed the libraries, make sure to replace the official "Shogun2.sh" file with the GitHub repository's "Shogun2.sh" file so the game can launch properly.
