Seamless Coop now available and working! I created a simple guide for it which can be found here!
Thanks to misterj05 on the Nexusmods posts for the mod!
Perfect out of the box

It works fantastically, beware if you Alt-Tab the mouse movement and clicks will still register but this could likely be fixed using virtual desktop or the likes. Otherwise perfect.

Just play it!!!
No Problems here it runs perfectly

Some text is on the small side.

Runs great

Runs ootb with no issues! Perfect input latency on oled makes parrying a real pleasure. Made a whole 100% playthrough with all areas and bosses including DLC. No Issues at all!

Works great with proton 9.0-4
If you arent windowed and alt tab, your mouse/controller inputs are still active in game
Played the game for ~60 hours and didn't experience a single crash or any major issues.

same windows performance

gamemoderun MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=60,no_display" mangohud %command%
"gamemoderun %command%" should be enough for most ppl. i just like to limit the fps in general, there is no need to let my system sweat to heavy if it isnt needed.

gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Takes a bit long to open for some reason, but never had any other issues to speak of across multiple full playthroughs.

Stuttering at start
Massive stuttering made me switch to Experimental and use GameMode. But otherwise, the game runs without issues, managed to load my Windows save game on Linux.

Do need to manually invoke the keyboard for the character creator.

No issues
I got all of the achievements and never encountered any problems.

I had to force steam to use openGL , older GPUs have problems with vulkan (in general), i also disable vsync in the game settings

Might as well be considered as native
Worked fine, no tinkering here
Runs out of the box with Steam's default compatibility (Proton 9.0-3)

Everything working perfectly after almost a full playthrough so far. Sometimes steam input would randomly turn on which broke xbox controller input for me until it was turned back off.

Played for 110 hours and reached 100 % achievements (2,5 playthroughs).
The game regular ignores XBox Series X/S Controller input when changing window focus or using the Mouse & Keyboard shortly. This may be a Linux in General Issue.

Had absolutely no issues in the 127 hours I spent playing it.
Only issue with the game would be the contrast. This is an issue with the game itself though, and not with running it on Linux. (I used a color calibrating device). The issue with the contrast can not be fixed to my knowledge. Whether through ingame settings or those on your monitor.

putting stick clicks on pedals; put run toggle and camera reset turbo on pedals for convenience
works perfectly out of the box.
Ready to go inmediately after installation. Supports keyboard+mouse and xbox controller.

"The system does not meet the minimum memory requirement..."
Awful. Plain awful.

Played the entire game using PS5 controller with no issues
Like every fromsoft title you need to be standing still or in a menu to alt-tab without flickering

rarely audio will act super weird but it doesnt affect gameplay and hasnt happened since
tabbing in and out is funky
Works perfectly out of the box.

Like other Fromsoft games, this game will only fullscreen on your primary monitor. You may need to change your primary monitor before launching.
A couple rare crashes (maybe 1 every 10 or so hours). Works perfectly otherwise.

Other than naming your character requiring the on screen keyboard, it's basically perfect and runs great!
