Not sure if there is anything for this in existence.

TWS itself is supported on Linux.

Third party front-ends written in Java should also work fine.

I expect I can get TWS to work the way I want. I just think their Booktrader has some way to go before it becomes properly user-freindly.

Regarding third-party front-ends in Java, I see FireTip mentioned in another thread but it's only licensed to institutional investors. So, the only realistic way to get it is to sign up with one of the multitude of supporting brokers.

Sure, just run any windows software you want and use a remote desktop on your imac/ipad or any ARM device.
