As someone who has also played this game on Windows, I am very surprised how well this game performs in Linux.
PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 -FastLaunch
Occasional game stuttering and freezing about every 30 seconds or so. Not consistent, as restarting the game can solve the problem where it will no longer occur up until the game is restarted again. Not sure what is causing it or what the inconsistency implies.
Occasional network connection issues upon first flight but once the connection is lost and then reestablished at the beginning it holds for consistent reliability upon that point.
Apart from changing the launch settings in steam, no other changes were required to get MSFS2020 to run. Its performance is comparable to Windows, actually surprisingly so; though there is an occasional stuttering and game freezing issue that randomly occurs on first flight but this can be resolved with a game restart. I was able to get this game to connect to the online servers with terrain and online data streaming and there hasn't been any apparent degradation of graphical or audio quality in comparison to the windows based operation. This game works well beyond initial expectations considering the minor custom configuration beyond default settings.
Had to use Proton Experimental to get the game to start. But once the game started it ran perfectly.
