How to install the latest DXVK version ?
It will be easier to understand if you show me an example of terminal commands under GNU/Linux. I tried to follow his instructions but I don't know one method is good

NEO The World Ends With You crashes with a DirectX 11 initialization error
If you know the directory structure and where the versions of Proton live that Heroic uses, you can also go to the dxvk github page and select the 1.10.3 tar ball, download it and extract it, then manually move the appropriate files to their desired location in the Proton file structure. As with all things like this, .old is your friend if you stuff something up. And yes this does work, I compile my own vkd3d versions and use this approach as a lazy way to test them in Steam.

Version 0.28 is here!
You can try dkvx Github dkvx , which is a mod that supposedly translates the DX11 stuff to Vulkan but I am not an IT guy so no clue how that works but as I said somewhere else on this thread it helped some people.

Vulkan Support for older PC games (e.g. Warcraft 3, Starcraft etc.)
Worry not, if you want to play Windows games on Linux, you will use Wine, and Wine has codepaths for very old DirectX versions, it translates it to OpenGL. Alternatively if you really insist there is D8VK although it shouldn't be necessary. For DirectX games that use DirectX 9, 10, or 11 you are covered with DXVK which translates those APIs into Vulkan. And for DirectX 12 games you're back to Wine with WineD3D which will do translation to Vulkan. Technically WineD3D supports every DirectX version, but DirectX 9, 10, and 11 codepaths are half finished, buggy, and less performant, that's why DXVK exists.

How the f*** does Proton works so amazingly well?
No, it does not. Check the readme - https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk DX12 goes through this - https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton

Direct3D 8 to Vulkan translator D8VK 'production-ready' 1.0 is out now
the release has a tabular comparison: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk/releases/tag/d8vk-v1.0
If you manually installed a 3rd party d3d8 -> d3d9 translation layer, that would indeed be rendered using DXVK since DXVK implements d3d9. See the table at the bottom of the 1.0 release: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk/releases/tag/d8vk-v1.0
