I have just recently switched to Linux and I can't find a way to run elite on Linux so far. Does anybody have any solutions for this?

Taken from ProtonDB:

You have to instal dotnet472

$ protontricks 359320 -q dotnet472 win7

This takes about 30 minutes with a lot of error messages. After it finishes you have to make modifications to config files in the game directory, from both:

/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous/EDLauncher.exe.config

/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous/HardwareReporter.exe.config

Delete the following line: supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"

and add the following: supportedRuntime version="v4.0"

Windowing: Activating Fullscreen After changing resolution, change the option to fullscreen mode. After a few tries it should work.

Note: I have not personally tried this, but the above page is about the most useful reference for this you're going to find. It does very much seem to be distro-dependent, but those on Arch-based distros appear to be having much better luck than others.
