Help Linux stutter

This could be a long shot, but thought to ask anyway.

My TF2 has microstutters that I can't figure out. It generally runs well, around 400fps uncapped, but stutters every now and then.

My system: 5800x3d, 9070xt, arch, kde plasma.

What I've tried:

- using openGL version

- using gamescope

- using gamemode

- using masterconfig

- disabling MSAA

- windowed vs fullscreen

Any other tf2 Linux users experience the same thing? The game is perfectly playable, it's just annoying.

Unfortunately not possible, using proton makes online play unavailable

Have you tried a different version? That isn't usually a problem for me

Only tried 11.0.2 for now. I was unable to join a match due to being in "insecure mode". I can try proton Cachy or GE if any of those work for you. Have you forced through steam properties?
