%command% --cores 1
Saving sometimes took fooooor eeeeevvveeeeeeeer.
Game would consistently crash after about a minute of playtime, making the game unplayable.
The "--cores 1" flag fixed it. I think switching to GE proton was pointless.
I was testing the demo promoted during steam next fest: "demo-2022.10.2_steam"
Audio was missing when trying to run the game with the default version of proton. This is the reason I switched to 4.11-13. With this version the audio worked but it may have been the cause for some of the other issues.
I tried newer versions (major 5 and 6), but all of them suffered from serious performance degradations, even on the main menu (though they had audio).
All of these problems were consistent when trying the demo and the prologue, so if you're worried I'd give those a go.
Occasional miscoloration of various surfaces on the screen.
Every time I'd reload a save my trashcans would be full. Probably just the game being jank though. 🤷
Sometimes the game would slow to a crawl. Usually after a few hours of play. Unsure if related to proton/linux as it could easily be the game itself.
Occasionally it would just CTD. :( Still enjoyed the game tho, wierdly enough.
Too crashy to enjoy. If you're lucky enough to avoid, use of GE's proton will help you see the videos.

Custom version of proton (I used 6.10-GE-1) can be found under releases at https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom
Performance was pretty bad. I was unable to make it any better by tweaking options or using launch flags/env variables for Proton.
Game crashes every time certain UI elements (usually the ones that would be broken w/o using the custom proton version) were recreated.
Clicking the "done" button on tutorial messages got me through to the next ones, up to a certain point. Therefore it seems like some cleanup was not performed unless I clicked the button.
Opening the codex on the main menu suffered similar issues. Opening it would initially work, and switching to any page w/o video elements would work fine, but switching to any second page w/ video elements or back to the original after visiting a page w/o video elements would crash the game.
Game would exit fine after crashing when alt-tabbing and clicking stop in Steam.
You may be able to skip the tutorial but you would likely crash again if/when there are story moments.
In order to use GE's proton version, unzip the release from the github page into /home/you/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/, then pick it in the settings for the game in the steam client. (rclick game > properties > compatibility > force use of specific tool > pick in dropdown)
