Nope, not worth the hassle. Just dual-boot or get a Windows machine if you wanna enjoy Fallout 4 without turning it into a weekend project.
Yes, Fallout 4 can definitely be played on Linux, but it's not officially supported by Bethesda. You'll need to use Wine or Proton (through Steam Play) to run it. I've personally used Proton on Steam, and after some tweaking, it runs pretty smoothly. Just make sure you check out the ProtonDB website for specific instructions and tweaks for Fallout 4!
Technically yes, but it's a bit of a hassle. You'll have to use Wine or Proton, and your mileage may vary when it comes to performance and stability. If you're a hardcore Linux user and determined to play Fallout 4, it's doable.
