For anyone who plays on Linux and is wondering if the game runs, the answer is yes.  At least for me, on the current version.

You'll need to launch via Lutris or Bottles, and I am using Proton-GE.  Heroic doesn't work as the game relies on Epic online services.

When first starting, you'll be presented with a window saying 'press any key to continue' but it won't go forward.  There is actually a dialog that is not rendering which is holding you back.  It's in the horizontal centre of the screen, and about a third down.  You'll see your cursor change to a hand when you're hovering over the right place -- click and you're in!

Enjoy.
