Aside from the stuttering issue, I have not had any Linux specific issues, just the same ones that happened to anyone else on Windows on occasion. There really is no reason things cannot run as good as native in Proton, as a large majority of my game library already does that. Much simpler than having to code a program to work on multiple OSs.

UE5 (and UE4) run natively on Linux and OSX(which is why it would be great, albeit probably impractical to move engines).

Anyway for me, the game does seem to get into a crash-happy state at times, it seems to be exacerbated by having more people in the server.  So that's annoying but I think it happens on Windows occasionally as well(I did disable the Steam overlay, that didn't seem to change anything.  It didn't work anyway).

Longer story: a year or two ago, I upgraded something on my system(I don't know what) that would cause the game to become very very laggy after ~45 minutes quite consistently.  Oddly, it would only happen if the mouse was moving, where my FPS would drop to ~8.  As long as the mouse wasn't moving though, my FPS was fine.

This is a wine issue, that, in my experience happens mostly on Unreal Engine games if you have a mouse with high polling rate. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2455

I have a Zowie mouse with dedicated polling rate button. Setting polling rate to 500hz eliminates the problem almost entirely.

I was able to install with bottles with the gaming option. The important thing I did was to put the Installer inside the empty prefix first, and then run it.
Also these are the dependencies it installed:
d3dx9
msls31
arial32
times32
courie32
d3dcompiler_43
d3dcompiler_47
mono
gecko

Settings:
Runner: sys-wine-9.0
DXVK: dxvk-2.5.3
VKD3D: vkd3d-proton-2.14.1
DXVK NVAPI: dxvk-nvapi-v0.8.0
Synchonization: Fsync
Windows: Windows 10

I think it configured the settings by itself, but don't remember
I tried the soda runner and it ran the game, but I couldn't quit the game without force quitting.

Also, I used this guide to import the game to Steam
