Ubuntu 13.10 isn't supported, but someone has an alternative script in the Ubuntu forum. He also mentioned menu problems.
Yes, the menu is in the application window instead of the global menu - not a big issue for me though.
The menu being in the application window is preferred for me as I use Gnome3, not Unity. In fact I had completely uninstalled Unity, but the Leadwerks installer wanted to reinstall parts of it as dependencies. Ugh.
Ubuntu is a horrible distribution, Arch users never have to run around trying to solve "package dependencies" or have to worry about downloading packages that are over a year out of date, or waste time trying to find ppas to appease that problem.
So I hope that we get some sort of fix soon, or maybe it just goes to show, that closed-source software doesn't really belong in the linux community.
Part of me agrees with your sentiment, that Ubuntu is not the be-all-end-all of Linux and that software devs targeting Linux need to make it a bit more flexible and generic. I say this as a LONG TIME Ubuntu user myself (since Hoary Hedgehog 5.04, their second release). However, a larger part of me thinks we need to cut Josh some slack, give him time to grow into these Linux shoes he's slipped on, and not discourage him. A small part of me wants to suggest that if you can do it better as Open Source software, please do go right ahead.
