For what it is worth, quartus II v15.0 seems the smoothest out of the gate for me on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I gave up on 14.1 a couple of times due to random crashes. 14.0.2 was quite stable for me but it had a couple quirks.

1) needed hacks to get modelsim to run... not painful, but annoying.

2) the integrated help wasn't working at all. I lived with that...

15.0 (downloaded today) has modelsim running out of the box with no mods, help launches a browser properly, it seems "zippy", and without changing any settings the compile time is down maybe 10% on my cyclone V project. There may be issues of course, but this is all pretty promising.
