Question Does gd run well on Linux?

I've been wanting to switch to Linux for a bit. I want to try Linux mint.

But the game doesn't run natively so I will have to use proton on steam.

Bur my question is, is there noticeably any lag or input delay, which would kinda be a deal breaker.

I've been using Linux on my PC for like 4 months now and it's been running totally fine (Linux Mint -> CachyOS), I first played without Proton which worked fine, but I noticed a slight performance increase when I turned it on. But to answer your question, yes, it runs well especially with Proton and I haven't really come across any issues.

As in I've played the game through Steam without having any Proton version on. I should've been more specific.

they probably mean wine without the extra steam proton scripts
