I for one don't give a damn if google does not release a linux version right now.
We already have lots of great browsers with us, while those using windows are stuck with firefox, ie and opera.
I am happy using Konqueror on Linux. And firefox.
They are each faster on linux than chrome on windows, on the same machine.
Linux has always been a thing designed for and by geeks, and I am proud of that. For all those people here who think we are either poor or stingy users who can't afford paid systems and can live with poor quality software, I offer a virtual b00t on their @$$es. Grow up. I use linux because of the huge performance boost it offers me over windows, coupled with total transparency and extreme ease of customization and hackable nature it has. And linux apps don't suck. I have still not seen an equivalent of Kaffeine and AmaroK for windows. For all practical purposes, OpenOffice.org serves me perfectly and it does not seem inferior to MS Office in any way. Linux launchers are way more easy to use and edit compared to windows "shortcuts". Terminal in linux offers a huge potential to maximize productivity on the system and saves time for many tasks, while on the other hand, terminal on windows is an insult to the word terminal and offers hardly anything to look forward to for windows users.
Chrome would come when its ready, and I am fine with that. As long as its opensource, its going to have lots of developers working on it to be ported as efficiently as possible to linux.
The only hope I have is that they would use QT4.4 for designing linux Chrome and compile it statically like opera.
