Yeah, it sucks to have to use Windows for the translation process, but the resulting files are usable on a Linux system. I have translated all my Gig files to Soundfont format, which are quite playable in Fluidsynth/Qsynth. The only thing I lose in translation are key switches, in which case are translated to separate instruments.
