Can a JavaFX app be executed without problems on Linux OS?
I have found some questions from years 2011 and 2012, when apps were not stable!

The current version of JFX released is 2.2.4 and it is quite stable on Linux. However, it will become very much better when Java 8 would be released as it would contain JFX 8 distibution. You can try it yourself now using java 8 early access builds.
Javafx runs on JVM(Java Virtual Machine) like all other java applications. It doesn't matter whether you run the javafx application on windows or linux or mac there is no doubt that it will not run. That's why java is called platform independent language. Now stable version of javafx 8 has been released with more features.
JavaFX 8 runs fine on Linux in my experience, the only requirement appears to be libgtk 2.18+. There are full details on Oracle JDK 8 and JRE 8 Certified System Configurations. Working Linux versions include:
