Things don't always just work on windows. Just look at any windows forum. And the solution is usually doing things in a different way to not hit the problem or installing some third party software that does what you'd do by typing a few commands in a shell, but in a more cumbersome way (requiring a compiler, writing an actual program, etc). Anyway, the main issues in linux tend to be with proprietary software which were not properly ported to linux (because of the small market share) or that weren't ported at all (and you're running them with wine). It's a chicken and egg problem. If linux had a greater market share the proprietary stuff would "just work" as much as they do on windows, anyway.
