The Standalone release is Windows only, but I can confirm it works just fine with Proton in steam after adding it as a non-steam game.
Alternatively, you can download the .Pk3 version, which allows you to run it natively through the Linux version of GZDoom.
Really recommend giving it a try, it’s a fantastic little game with a lot of effort put into it. The gunplay feels great, the environments and art are awesome, and the level design is solid.
Played a few levels in VR via the Team Beef Doom thingy on a standalone headset. It was pretty damm cool.
2063 is also on GOG as a one click mod.
I noticed it there, but it seems like on the GOG page it says it requires Doom II to function, so I opted not to link to them. Do you know if it works without any tinkering for GOG owners who don’t own Doom II?

The sequel (Ashes: Afterglow) is even better. I’m not saying 2063 is bad or anything, far from it, but the sequel is just showing how much they learned on the original. Both are worth your time, and the third is in dev currently.

The trailer for Ashes: Blackwater (I assume the 3rd game?) looks pretty rad.

Blackwater is actually a fan mod of Ashes. It remixes levels and weapons, as well as tuning for difficulty. Haven’t tried it yet, but it does look fun. The third/end of Ashes is Death Zone. But there is a lot of stuff being made by a lot of talented devs in the Ashes scene. It’s pretty neat.
