Is there a good free orbital simulator for Linux?

I don't want a game like KSP but a simulation of orbits without much need for 
fancy graphics.

I am wondering what the orbit of a ring would be like (EG a Dyson ring) and 
whether it's plausible to make such a ring or whether a set of disconnected 
sattelites in the same orbit is required.

I've written some opengl c++ libraries that perform classical mechanics simulations.

Here is a oscillating collision simulation; note energy is conserved. Let me know if you would like to learn more about what I have done.
