I never seem to have the problems you mention on linux.

Compiling is a breeze...../configure,make, make install. Maybe get missing lib and compile it. If you don't like that responsibility, use a packaged system, like Ubuntu or Suse. When you use the package manager to get something, it will install the pre-requisites too.

At least the system lets you download it!!

BTW, Microsoft is laying off 5000 people off because people are switching to linux in droves. :-)
