1) The advantage of developing ArchiCad for an open source software such as Linux is that Graphisoft could contribute to and shape Linux to run ArchiCad to its best. (If Graphisoft can't do it, then I'll be worried about how they'll innovate and cope with other challenges)
2) The only thing preventing me from switching to Linux is that ArchiCad is not available on it.

You might try installing it in Windows and copying the installed folder over. I remember that older ArchiCAD versions (e.g. 6.0 & 6.5) could run without installation, since all required dynamic link libraries (DLLs) are inside the main ArchiCAD folder.
I suspect problems with the hardware lock detection, though, since that needs Sentinel (6.x) or WIBU (8.x 9.x) software installed. You could try with a student version. I still have the student version of 7.0 which ran without lock (and with certain limitations).
The installer is Java-based, which is probably one of the main problems.
FWIW, BricsCAD Architecturals (based in IntelliCAD) is "ported" to Linux, but only through WINE.
