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

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.

The game runs pretty badly, but not because it's a terrible port, it's just a crappy engine.
Also, it runs better on AMD hardware but only officially supports nvidia on linux.
I get like 20-25fps in most places on a gtx 970.

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.

You should check back tomorrow when the Winter Sale is on. I hear MadMax will be going cheap.
