It is a problem not only for indie developer. I have witnessed same problem with Borland Kylix (Borland Delphi for Linux). In general it was a great idea, IDE was good, creating Linux apps easily using RAD tool was really tempting. Having ability to use all the Delphi plugins people created for years was also a big advantage. Yet... The problem was that Kylix required very specific kernel version (I think it also required some kernel module), so it mostly did not work out of the box and people got discouraged. The fact that Borland failed to advertise it correctly and never put more effort into making this tool better is another story. Those were times of Borland identity change from RAD tool vendor to super-enterprise corpo Inprise with some crazily expensive ALM tools that were competing with the likes like Telelogic Doors (now IBM brand), etc.
