To me, this is the first official word on this subject, and now I know that I wont be pre-purchasing the game (nor taking benefit from its prepurchasing discounts), because as stated, the only official OS supported for pc is Windows. Despite this, I still have hopes for a linux release post launch like happened with witcher 2. Bad news indeed. I hope situation improves with time.
If it does get ported it will probably use eON from VP, and with those Windows minimum req, the Linux req would be crazy high.
So this outcome is quite expected. Though I don't think they'll use eON for it if they'll ever get to such port. So far nothing indicated such plans. There will be a community Q&A with them in February which will include their plans for OpenGL and Linux. So let's see what they'll say.
my gpu lands to the side of minimum requirements, cpu is on recommanded..but its good to see that things are being pushed :)
