So, we do know that Star Citizen will come to Linux thanks to CryEngine being on Linux. I have just found a video of the Star Citizen team getting ready for PAX and an interesting operating system is in the background.

Seems like the Linux support won't be too far off if they are already using Linux, hello there Ubuntu Unity! No surprise they are using Ubuntu since it is what Steam supports and is generally developers go-to Linux distribution.
I imagine when this comes out there will be a lot of "Sorry what's eve online?...I need to get back to Star Citizen...".
Exciting times we live in being a Linux gamer, there is just no end to the news that we can share with you. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I don't know why they were using Ubuntu.
But I don't think it is for what you said.
Remember that Valve took Debian as the base of Steam Os. Not Ubuntu.

The steam client is on Ubuntu and according to the last question http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/648814395741989999/ devs were told to build for Ubuntu (on the Steam Runtime), which apparently would work on any distro as long as it's got Steam Runtime installed (and the Steam client is officially supported on Ubuntu 12.04).
So it's perfectly normal to build and test on Ubuntu. I just take issue with the DE =P KDE user myself. Of course, I've said this in the RSI forum's Linux thread =) So go subscribe on that thread if you're a fellow citizen! xD

The developer with Ubuntu on his machine is Paul Reindell, CIG's lead engine programmer. For the Star Citizen community, this wasn't that big of a surprise - CIG had previously stated that "The Cloud Imperium team includes many Linux and Macintosh fans" on the old kickstarter page.
I can't follow the assumption that this tells us anything as to when we will see a Linux client but as Chris Roberts mentioned on the panel at PAX, all their game servers run on Linux already and it all comes down to the engine's rendering pipeline. Mr. Reindell joined the CIG team after previously working for CryTek.

UVL tracks what development systems games were created with. Including Linux. These lists are by no means complete, but hopefully interesting.
