Installed with PlayOnLinux (but without any script or predefined settings; as a non-listed application). A few runtime errors appeared at the end of installation process (quite usual GOG installers' behaviour), but they have no impact on how the game works.
But remember - the game (TLC.exe) needs to be launched with
--disable-gpu argument. Startint plain TLC.exe caused black screen (sound-only) movies for me.
How well does it run: In general - it works ok.
I've faced a few times some sound glitches - it was somehow related with speed of playing movies, but it was enough to pause a movie or rew a few seconds to fix it.
Details: Beware - the game offers only one saving slot and sometimes freezes - when game is frozen, exit the game and
do not save. Saving in such situation will made you start from the very beginning. I'm not sure if the issue is somehow related with Linux/Wine or perhaps it just work like that in Windows also.
