run it from a command line (konsole, etc) and see what error pops up.

Did you use Ubuntu software manager or the installer from steam? You should use your distro's package manager.
You might be missing some dependencies. Find the steam binary, open a terminal in that directory and type: ldd ./steam to see which libs are missing. Then find the right packages to install those libs.
Search around Askubuntu. They probably know what to do.

This got me to check steam and I saw that the latest Deus Ex is on linux and it's currently on sale for $19.99. Merry Christmas to me.

You're right. Whenever I came up on an enemy it'd drop to 19FPS on Ultra, Very High and High. I didn't feel like screwing with it anymore after that. I've got a water cooled 1070 that's overclocked as much as I could push it.
