Quite a list. Rather than imply that you don't need any of it I'm gonna try and be constructive here.

Some software can be used on Linux but not all. And a lot of the stuff there isn't exactly multiplatform. In that case I would suggest trying out Linux in some virtual machine software like Virtualbox to see if you like it and want to put the effort in.

I found I could work very well within Linux and use a Windows virtual machine for what little software I did need, but that's not the case for all.

Happy hunting.

either a well thought out linux simply sucks b8 or it just happened

... regardless ... you can't use Linux ever. Just run it in a VM and play around with the terminal for that hacker feel

i can't run a vm everytime i try to use one it gives me segfault errors.

then just put it on a usb stick and try it out

no installation needed ... just werks

the software you use is dependent on windows/mac so theres no point in using any linux distro into your main system

just learn it somehow by using it somehow .. fix your VM issue

use VMWARE
