You wouldn't be the first one. Some time ago an irate user posted a rant
about how D needs to have more Linux love, and how many problems plague
D on Linux. Quite a strange rant, considering that a large proportion of
forum members here are Linux users, and we haven't seen any of the said
egregious problems. :)

Perhaps it's because D works so well on Linux that we hardly ever hear
from the Linux people, whereas Windows support is plagued with issues so
people are constantly talking about it, thus giving the impression that
the forum consists primarily of Windows users? Just wild speculation on
my part.
