I would be surprised if you had to do anything special for Linux, but don’t know for sure. Splitsie is my go-to for specific tutorial, but Engineered Coffee’s let’s play is also fairly informative, although not structured as pure tutorials.
Also unsure, but adding:
If you installed through Steam, gaming on Linux is pretty seamless and should work out of the box. If you purchased it through another store or acquired through other means, you may have to jump through a hurdle or two to get proton set up and dialed in.

Splitsie has recently released released a new tutorial series for the Apex survival update, I second the recommendation.
To play multiplayer SE it's vital that you install dotnet4. As of a month ago (when I last installed it) there's a bug making that difficult - I had to delete a registry key, after which the dotnet4 install went through fine.
