I think they fixed that, the default on desktop Linux is now the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 and the native version of the game launches flawlessly for me on Fedora 42.
That's awesome. I'll definitely check it out later!
How can you install the Linux version? I don't See an Option in steam.
Right click on Baldur's Gate 3 -> Properties... -> Compatibility
You can either remove the check mark in "Compatibility" completely or set it to "Steam Linux Runtime 3.0".
Unless your force a Proton version, the game will use the Linux version automatically.
