If you're like me and were / are experiencing some oddness on Linux running natively, I've painstakingly resolved the issues on my end. As usual, YMMV.
A little recap: I had to select "Legacy runtime 1.0" in order to play and for models to load correctly. However, the MOTD and lottery wouldn't load, and I was experiencing other oddness. Switching to Proton resolved some issues but caused other issues (as issues tend to do).
Enter an intense interrogation session with Google, which identifies the using the 64bit beta and patching CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) solves many issues. Switching to 64 bit without the patch caused crashing, but once I patched CEF my experience was buttery smooth.
Next, go to compatibility and make sure you're on "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)".

As usual with these fixes aren't one size fits all, so you're mileage may vary. In my limited scope (myself) it made a huge difference. Feel free to report if you experienced improvement from this.

In the game properties, go to the "Betas" tab and click the "Beta Participation" dropdown, finally selecting the "x86-64 - Chromium + 64-bit binaries" option. Launch at least once.Next, go to compatibility and make sure you're on "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)".
