I have been having crashes consistently on Linux that I don't get on windows, personally. But seems more like a me issue as most people say it runs great.
Have you tried to increase/check the max_map_count ? That fixed it for me.

Ill give this a shot again but I think I tried this and it didnt sem to help though its been awhile now so Ill give it a go again - thanks!
Are you using GE-Proton?
I had stability issue with Proton and Proton Experimental.
Yes I have been using Proton - I have tried Hotfix, Experimental and the default one. Haven't heard of Ge-Before is that something separate?
Iv only been hearing people having issues if they are on mint, pop or other out of date distros. Fedora and arch based distros seem to never have issues with arc.
Thats fair - I am using mint but have everything updated so could just be SOL.
