Anyone have a though about it? Was there any serious efforts
to bring D language to Major distributions?
GDC and LDC are already part of the Debian archive. I don't
know what's the migration status, but I'd imagine it's just a
matter of time (if it hasn't already happened) before it
percolates down to all the Debian derivatives. Just:
apt-get install gdc
or
apt-get install ldc
and you're good to go.
Don't know about the RPM-based distros, I'd imagine somebody
has also made packages for that by now.

Ubuntu 18.04 has both gdc and ldc. Installing on Ubuntu has
always been trivial - just download the .deb and install it.
Slackware has slackbuilds for dmd and gdc.
Arch has all three compilers available.
All three are available through opensuse's open build service.
