FWIW I'm using Yosis for my Ice40 Lattice FPGA purely because their Linux support is bad.

Getting a free hobby license requires emailing them with MAC addresses (which means I have to do that for my desktop, laptop, and again for any future machine I may get). Then getting the tools to actually run on Linux seemed to be impossible that I just gave up.

It's not clear that I have the Yosys and open source options for my Xilinx based fpgas.
