PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 gamemoderun %command%
Install .NET 4.5.2 offline installer (from the web, not the one provided by protontricks) through protontricks, then install .NET 4.6 from protontricks. When running the game for the first time it may look as if there's nothing happened but if you checked (h)top you'll see that it's installing more dependencies in the background, it'll take a few minutes, after that it should launch just fine. Tested with both GE-Proton9.27 and GE-Proton9.4, both works for me.
Content Manager works but you need some extra steps for it. CSP completely borked for me, probably because I need to use PROTON_USE_WINED3D flag since my GPU doesn't have full Vulkan support. But hey, if it runs on my potato, surely it'll run much smoother with your beasty PCs.
It happened because I'm in Tiling WM, I tested it on XFCE at it works perfectly there.
Well... it's a potato so it run at max 25 FPS, it stable around 20 FPS.

Won't launch without launch option
Passed the BattleEye for some reason, the game starts and quite playable... but the performance is crappy (25fps with hiccups)
Technically not needed
FPS drop to around 1-4 FPS during cutscenes (Crazy Dave's dialog) and seed selection.
This can be fixed by replacing PlantsVsZombies.exe (in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Plants\ Vs\ Zombies/) with popcapgame1.exe (from ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3590/pfx/drive_c/ProgramData/PopCap\ Games/PlantsVsZombies/):
- Play the game to make
popcapgame1.exeappears - Run
cp ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3590/pfx/drive_c/ProgramData/PopCap\ Games/PlantsVsZombies/popcapgame1.exe /tmp/pvz.exeon your terminal - Close the game
- Run the following commands on your terminal:
# Backup the original executable
mv ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Plants\ Vs\ Zombies/PlantsVsZombies.exe ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Plants\ Vs\ Zombies/PlantsVsZombies.exe.old
# Replace the old executable with popcapgame1.exe
cp /tmp/pvz.exe ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Plants\ Vs\ Zombies/PlantsVsZombies.exe
- Re-play the game, the issue should now be fixed
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
A bit of hiccups
Should be pretty straightforward, pretty much a plug-and-play experience
