I have to press "~" twice before it gets accepted on Ubuntu. Only once with Windows, though.
Several layouts have a «dead» ~ key, used for writing ãẽĩõũ. Pressing a dead key twice usually writes the accent mark alone, though in the case of ~, it's not necessarily at the same height (old computers used to draw the ~ sign higher so that it could be really put on top of a lowercase).
Portuguese and German kezboard lazout have such a dead kez.
