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.

I guess you missed this piece of news: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/the-witcher-3-for-linux-remains-officially-unconfirmed.4167
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.
