Conclusion:
Shipping Out ran fine in Linux Mint 19 with my GeForce GTX 1060. I was able to play with an xbox controller as well, but the map button wasn't "mapped" to the controller. So I still had to use the keyboard for viewing the map. Other than that, I was able to play, load and close the game without issues.
