I have no worries about future Linux support but I'm interested for the FPGA testing period since I'm about to purchase a P123-A9 board with the intent of helping here.
I'm pretty sure it works in Virtual box. Worst case, get a free evaluate or lab demo windows iso. I did that on the Mac. The mac had some issue preventing the Prop plug from working, but quartus worked fine.
My experience with the latest Wine (17.??) on Fedora 22 is that px.exe was able to load an image to the P123 *BUT* Pnut was unable to load a binary through the serial connection. Also, the Propeller Tool does run under Wine but is unable to load anything to the Prop. There seems to be two different way a Windows program acquires/accesses the serial ports. One, whatever px.exe uses, works. The other method does not work. I have yet to find the secret to success.
I have an older Linux system with an older Wine that used to work with P2-hot Pnut but I haven't tested it yet.
It would be nice if we could get a platform independent loader working. Pnut could create a binary under Wine and the loader could then load it.

I'll try my luck I guess.
When Linux tools happen, throw the windows out!
