Another release of GE-Proton is already available, the third in the space of a week and GE-Proton 7-46 includes some DirectX 12 fixes for Steam Deck and Linux desktop. The previous release also removed DXVK-Async, a popular patch people were using to improve the shader cache stuttering issue.
For GE-Proton 7-46 here's the games that had their DirectX 12 mode fixed:
- Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
- Death Stranding.
- The Division 2.
But it's noted that Monster Hunter Rise is still problematic.
Here's a video going over how to install and use it, a run over the patch notes with an example of The Division 2 DX12 mode now working and some settings to pick for it:

I'm yet to try again, but last time I played on my Linux Mint 20 I had performance issues. Turns out that Radeon driver didn't ramp up the GFX when needed. I found a manual script to do it for me; otherwise it stayed at idle clocks and it's pretty much 50% off of the performance.
Now only if any of these systems actually recognized & worked easily, for I know I am quite adept with linux and still I struggled to figure out what's the cause and even more so as to how to fix it.

Quoting: AquaticaI don't think that it's a GPU Drivers problem, actually I can play Horizon Zero Dawn (and others) in Ultra setting. The Division 2 it's look not to be optimized as it should, we need wait for some patch. Even some Windows users have some problems with this game.Quoting: JulianThe performance on my rig(r7 5700x, 6700xt, 16gb ddr4 on Lutris) it's sucks!!!
