I run it on Linux everyday with Steam on Proton. It is my go to game on steamdeck and my Fedora desktop.

By default steam wants to download the old old old Linux version that doesn't allow online play, but if you enable proton it will download the Windows version and run fine. I am pretty sure it doesn't have a real anti-cheat included.

Are you sure? Is this recent (last 6 months)? I enabled it and tested multiple versions of Proton with no success. Did you have to do anything else?
In addition to making sure that the EAC runtime is installed, try setting the compatibility command to:

    SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windows,x11 %command%
This is a typical problem with EAC.
Every thread that starts with "Linux gaming is basically 100% ready now" progresses into hacks like this :)
To be fair, every thread that starts with "Win 11 can still be debloated" progresses into registry hacks too :)
I don't have to do anything else. I just use the current proton. I just installed it on the flatpak version too. No trouble.
