XCOM 2 has been fixed up quite a bit in this first patch now available for Linux & SteamOS. I've tested it myself, and it's a far nicer experience now.
It's going to be tough to beat XCOM 2 for my top spot in games released this year!
It has all the fixes from the Windows hotfix and then some:

Quoting: TheRiddickForever AMD gets the middle finger yet again.. I wonder if AMD enjoys EVERYONE outright ignoring them as a company under Linux!.
If you're using AMD although we don't have official support (yet) I'd suggest running the latest Mesa 11.2 drivers. ;-)
Quoting: LordpkappaQuoting: WorMzyNow when I start the game, it tells me that my GeForce GTX 970 isn't supported.
EDIT: possibly because I'm using the 361.28 driver, but the FAQ explicitly states that higher version drivers should work.
Same here with Gtx 970.
As per the message it is your 361 drivers are not supported not the card. This is due to performance issues caused by a problem with these drivers which Nvidia are aware of and are investigating.

Quoting: Renzatic GearOh, and the red sparkly tint in the shadows is still around.Give this a try: go to nvidia settings and lower AA to 2x ...
I have those red dots with a lot of games depending on the antialisasing settings.

Quoting: Renzatic GearThe stuttering is GONE, but missions seem to be capped at 30 FPS. It never goes above it, never goes below, save for the occasional I-Can't-Believe-I'm-Mentioning-This dip to 29.5 or so.
Are you sure that in Options->Video, Enable v-sync is unchecked? By default it is checked and this was leading to the same issue. Unchecking it solved it.
