Also, at least with Proton, the first time you launch the game, shaders need to be compiled (whatever that means ), and if you start playing immediately, it can cause stuttering.

I don't think the game is bypassing anything. I guess it's just stressing the GPU in a strange pattern.

Also, if you have an "overclocked edition" of your GPU, maybe you can try setting frequency and voltage back to "factory" settings (look for your GPU model on AMD site, the specs should be there). I know I've had some trouble in the past with some OC edition of GPU (granted, I was using Windows, but bad overclocking is bad on any platform).

55 degrees celsius is abnormally low for running games. How did you measure this? Try MangoHUD overlay to see it in 'realtime' at load inside the game. It also gives you a bunch of other useful metrics, like CPU and GPU load. You can use goverlay to customise it conveniently, or just use the cfg files.
I can only speak for a Nvidia gpu (1070) but after I switched to Linux, I had to set my fan controls manually as the automatic setting basically meant they never went on (I discovered to my shock and horror). Now I have a 3rd party fan curve script that starts up at boot time and it's very aggressive giving me cooler temps yet more noise.
Just some quirks of gaming :)
