Kernel version: 4.13.0-37
Graphics card: AMD RX 480 8GB
Graphics driver & version: Open source, with Mesa 17.3.6 from Padoka's stable Mesa PPA

Start the game from/create shortcut for "FalloutLauncher.exe"
How well does it run: Almost perfect
Details: Seems to be fully playable and working almost perfectly, with just some minor issues: Anti-aliasing causes some weird graphics problems to occur after a while, where the HUD and post-processing effects disappear when facing in certain directions and odd flashing "blobs" here and there, so you'll probably want to keep that disabled. The "Transparency Multisampling" option doesn't work. Some objects don't fade in to view smoothly as you approach. Some of the smaller/temporary radio stations still don't play correctly (e.g. Ranger emergency frequency), and some can even cause the game to freeze (relay tower broadcasts). Installing quartz can fix the radio crash but introduces stuttering playback to certain tracks playing on the normal radio stations so installing it is not worthwhile.
Wine wrapper I have put together a Linux Wine wrapper for this game. For more information, see the release thread in the game's forum:
