WineHQ AppDB link: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=787&iTestingId=16697
Distro: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit
Kernel version: 4.13.0-32
Graphics card: AMD RX 480 8GB
Graphics driver & version: Open source, with Mesa 17.3.2 from Padoka's stable Mesa PPA
Wine version(s) tested: Wine 3.0 (with CSMT enabled)
Install notes: Install & play.
Run the game from/create a shortcut for "Jazz2.exe"
Must disable DirectSound in the game settings otherwise it will freeze.
How well does it run: Almost perfect
Details: When playing in windowed mode the credits are not displayed when quitting (display output is blank), aside from that it seems to be perfect, as long as you make sure that DirectSound support is disabled so it doesn't freeze. Have not tested multiplayer.
The game runs at a maximum of 640x480 resolution (800x600 for JJ2+), however you can resize the game window. Note that the game will stretch if the correct aspect ratio is not maintained though; I recommend using something like Zipplet's windowsizer tool to resize the game window automatically while maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
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: https://www.gog.com/forum/jazz_jackrabbit/jazz_jackrabbit_2_for_linux
