As announced in a previous blog post, update 2.1.3 will mark the end of Linux client support. We will instead pivot towards supporting Proton (also known as Steam Play), Valve's compatibility layer for Windows games running on Linux, and focus on fixing any bugs that manifest with it. Proton's Vulkan-based backend renderer, DXVK, should have better performance and fewer issues for Linux users.
