I bought the devkit, the poor support on Linux was enough for me to pretty much abandon it. I'm not developing on Windows, I've made it this far and will instead target other platforms.

Hardly anything ever had good support on Linux. Linux has its strengths, but Windows is a far better platform for graphics-related development.

Thats just not true anymore. Even AMD has great open source drivers on Linux that you can just dream about on Windows.

Unreal Engine, including all the dev tools, runs fine on Linux.
