I’m using it since TweetDeck and Adobe AIR proved to be next to useless on openSUSE. Perfectly good replacement for TweetDeck if you’re not looking for all the bells and whistles. Haven’t noticed any particular bugs, either.

yaourt -s turpial
Your list of Ubuntu versions does not include the current one, 11.10. Doesn’t it work on that version as well?
Yes, it’s working on Ubuntu 11.10 as well. I didn’t mention it on the note down below, because I already mentioned it on the installation title.
