In nutshell Linux eccosystem is not THAT fragmented to worry about costs to support it. It is all of leap of faith. FD however isn't ready to take one yet, therefore Wine with DX11 support is closest thing we will have to try to run ED on Linux.
ELITE on LINUX Please.

Literally only been thinking about since the earlier post, will be investigating https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro over the weekend, not sure it handles custom analogue curves, but in the same breath, I haven't read up properly yet. That said, the X-Plane folks seem quite happy with it.

Please do check out http://flatpak.org it is distro agnostic and removes the library fragmentation issue. (other containerised application delivery mechanisms are available folks)
This. RedHat, Cannonical and other big spenders on Linux desktop has spent considerable time and resources for last two years to make Linux desktop work. Linux gaming is definitely here (I Steam on Linux and only have Windows 7 partition for ED), and is here to stay. There's have been very huge amount of work on GPU support, joystick/gamepad support, there's VR work incoming from Steam, there's Vulkan efforts (for crossplatform support).
