Quoting: NeoCool, thanks everyone... Does the fact that it can run at 24-30 FPS sometimes suggest that it might not be a hardware problem?

Did you tried valve's fsync patch?
For me it helped with Ben and Ed blood party. The game was freezing just like yours, and I installed valve's kernel, and it stoped. Right now i'm on xanmod kernel(don't know if fsync is enabled by default).
I waneted to try GTA V on my laptop to see if there are any hags on my laptop, but when I saw 90GB download, I stoped..

My laptop config:

OS: Ubuntu 19.10 with 5.4.18-xanmod10 kernel

CPU: Intel Core i3-7130 2.70GHz x4

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620

RAM: 3,7 GIB

@Neo, I would definitely give this a try. Regarding fsync, as of 2021/12/21, Valve has improved the fsync code in Proton Experimental, so you could try running the game via Proton Experimental.

Liam posted here on the changes to Proton Experimental and wrote how to enable it:

Quote1. Search for Proton Experimental and install if not already.
2. Right click any game on Steam and go to Properties.
3. Select the Compatibility menu on the right side.
4. Ensure the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" is ticked.
5. From the dropdown box that appears select Proton Experimental.

I hope that Proton Experimental helps and please let us know if there are any improvements.
