on linux, the init file should be named ".emacs" (note the dot in front)
and it should reside in your home directory.

One possibility is to call it "init.el"  on linux as well, but create
a ".emacs" symbolic link to it:

  ln -s init.el .emacs
  
There are many other ways, but the symlink is probably the simplest.
