Its anti-cheat (Easy Anti-Cheat) is not working on Linux for this game, so it won't run properly even where Proton otherwise could handle it. Easy Anti-Cheat runs on Linux in 144 other games Sifter tracks — so this is a per-game decision rather than a limit of the anti-cheat.

Valve rates it Playable on Steam Machine. Valve marks it SteamOS Compatible.
