Been messing around with it today aswell..
GPU: 7800 XT
Video driver version: amdgpu
Kernel version: Linux fedora 6.8.8-300.fc40.x86_64
Proton version: Proton Exp. Bleeding Edge and 9.0-1
Game launches fine using both proton9.0-1 and bleeding edge but I couldn't notice any differences
UI is terribly slow to use.
Helicopter rides are hit and miss and sometimes causes disconnects and maybe one frame every 5 seconds
This is a log from my last attempt using bleeding edge. I hit connect around line 6500 and ended with a helicopter disconnect

In menu there are some lags, but nothing seriose. But loading into game almost always ended up with network connection issue for first time after launching the game and take ridiculously long time.
While in game, mostly I have around 150 fps on FHD EPic settings but UI env is laggy as hell. Interact with something like, Vendors or Inventory has so long response witch make it nearly unplayable due to inposibility to loot corpses mid combat. Also there are random freezes for about 10 seconds randomly, often ended with dead screen.
Freezes comes also when completing subtask or task, find new location etc.
Flying with heli is one big lag. Unlaging on ground in target location like 20 seconds after heli leaves.
Graphics ok, no issues or artefacts.

To add my experience:
GPU: Radeon 6950XT
CPU Ryzen 9 5950X
Mesa: 24.0.3
Distro: PopOS 22.04LTS
Proton Version(s): HotFix/Experimental/9.0.1

From the logs:
Initially loading the game and after hitting deploy took 4 minutes (I timed it) and resulted in a Network Disconnect, but second try took 2 minutes but worked. Once in game, I got roughly the same framerate as I do running similar settings under Windows, however UI interactions cause freezes for 2-3 seconds and sometimes back-to-back. In this log I just messed around in the base camp, but typically helicopter rides start out well, then freeze for extended time and more often than not disconnects me.

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060Ti
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Drivers: Nvidia proprietary 550.78
Distro: NixOS 23.11
Proton Version: Experimental

UI freezes a lot, additionally after a freeze, the GPU utilization goes up to 95-100% and fps drops to 20 max. Helicopter rides drop down the fps to 1-2 with long freezes until I'm kicked off from the heli, after which the FPS goes back up to 20.

Than i choose a other server. So my mission are reset see screenshot. Than i run a bit to the next village near by base. I killed 2 or 3 scavs not sure. Than i go to town and killed more scavs. The game freeze often but i think the shader is learning slow its. I was killed by scav. I clicked respwan and respawn in base. I exit the game to menu. I clicked close the game but there was blackscreen from game and proton sad sorry for crash.

Hello @RaidTheWeb, can you check if https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3343 is relevant to your system? A quick test would be to reboot into an older kernel and see how the game behaves.

I am now running the game fine after the developers added EAC support for linux but I see the same ~10min initial load time to the main menu. Steam Log attached in case it is useful.

I am running GE Proton 9.5, but have also confirmed Proton Experimental and Experimental (bleeding-edge) as working.
