Since the underlying technologies Ruby, Qt, and KDE are cross-platform, so is QtRuby. It supports Linux and other flavours of Unix, as well as Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
QtRuby hello world
require 'Qt4'
app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
hello = Qt::PushButton.new('Hello World!')
hello.resize(100, 30)
hello.show
app.exec
The Korundum documentation[1] proposes a more "rubyish" version of this program.

Status and Maintenance
Currently, QtRuby is maintained (if at all) as part of Korundum.
A third-party implementation, named "qtbindings" in the Rubygems repository, has been made due to the lack of active development.[4] Stated goals of the project include keeping an up-to-date version of the Qt framework for Ruby, as well as improving compatibility with non-Linux systems.[5] As of December 2013, it supports Ruby 2.0 and 1.9, but not 1.8.
