To answer your question:
The first place to check, is if the default map has changed for some reason in the project settings. After that, looking in the log for any errors that may have occurred during loading. It could be there there is a delay in loading the map such as when compiling shaders that does not occur on Windows, so waiting a bit longer may be all that is needed.
You may also wish to check using Vulkan on Windows and you should be able to do that via the project settings and changing the targeted RHI. If Vulkan works fine on Windows, the other test you could do is if the template projects work on Linux. Those projects should be tested and if they do not work, it would indicate something is up with your setup instead of the project itself.
If it does work on the template projects, then you may be able to attach RenderDoc to the editor to work out what is happening in the viewport, the scene may be rendering behind a black UI for example. The other area to check is maybe setting the scene to unlit and/or disabling post processing, and see if the geometry shows up. Then debugging from there.
Thank you for your continued support,
