Subnautica kinda-works on the latest Wine. The only issue is that Alt-Tabbing makes keyboard input no longer work. Only force-closing the game can fix that.

The workaround for that issue is to use Wine's Virtual Desktop feature. Open up winecfg, go to the "Graphics" tab and enable "Emulate a virtual desktop". Set the "Desktop size" to be your monitor resolution (in this case 1920 x 1080)

Sadly, using this option presents yet another issue: Suddenly, looking around no longer works! Luckily, there's also a fix for that:

Open up Wine's regedit.exe by running wine regedit (notice that it now starts in virtual desktop mode). Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/X11 Driver (create the X11 Driver key if it doesn't exist already) and create a new string value. Name it "UseTakeFocus" and set its data/value to "N". You should now be able to look around just fine again
