I have for years been an advocate of an opensim viewer. Easy to say, hard to do.

It’s the choice of viewer developers whether they will fall inline with Linden Lab on any given change or policy or not. I would be surprised if any viewer already supporting Linux would drop support just because of this. It was never started that Linden Lab would stop support of their Linux viewer either, just that they would no longer be making efforts themselves to develop it.
