Additional Comments

Albeit slower than on Windows, this game works just about flawlessly. With good specs, you shouldn't have to worry whatsoever. Simply run it through Steam or any shortcut you've made and it'll work. There seems to be some issues with the scroll wheel on the mouse (allows you to push or pull an object away with the physics gun). Not sure if this is a global issue or limited to Gmod. It doesn't always register a scroll "click". Make sure you've turned off Steam In-game in the Steam settings however, just as any other source game.

If your garry's mod crashes before submitting a bug or commenting on here, here is what you should try:

This should fix any HUD issues you may have: (You may not be able to see certain effects like fire in the game with this)
In steam right click Garry's mod click Properties click "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." Enter this:
-dxlevel 81
to run in windowed mode add: -window -h 864 -w 1152

This will stop the crash when being killed by a moving object:
In winecfg (terminal -> winecfg) click Add application on the Applications tab
Browse to Program Files\Steam\steamapps\(username)\garrysmod
select hl2.exe and click Open
With hl2.exe selected in the list change the windows version to Windows 98 (via the drop down box near the bottom is should be default say "Use global settings")
Hit Apply/OK, then try to launch Garry's mod again
