Although it doesn't crash, visuals are bad. (Adding because "fine" is definitely not the right word, i was just happy it didn't crash)

On garuda the native version crashes just in few seconds after loading the first scene, on manjaro I could get a little further - it crashed when I pulled out the cable in the fuse box. I guess Hoystein is right, and i don't have the knowledge required to get it to work.
While using proton, the game doesn't crash, but there are graphics bugs - I didn't progress far, but this is what I have already seen:
- some textures are blurry
- enabling post effects turns everything black (also everything gets blacked out in certain camera angles on low settings)
- it looks better with shader quality set to medium, on high lighting just isn't right -steam particles are black squares, but if refractions are off, they're white squares.

Completed the game on GE.
If the game world is black, try:
- disabling post effects on AMD;
- turning off either anti-aliasing or post effects on NVIDIA.
Quick fix to make lighting a little better on AMD:
- set shader quality to medium
Also, after a clean install of the windows version the steam particle problem was no more
