Well, I've run the Xilinx tools on various incarnations of SuSE
on AMD64 for a while now. The PC-IV driver doesn't work because
it's a 32bit driver, but impact does otherwise function on my
Linux. In fact, I don't think there is any version of Linux that
it does *not* work with, so you should be fine. There are some
answer records for various portability glitches.

As for it being less flakey on Windows, well... it just ain't
super-wonderfull-happy-as-a-mac software, Windows or Linux. It's
former Unix software ported to Windows, and back again :-/
