That's a tremendous advantage Linux has over proprietary OSs, it's quick to
install and comes bundled with most of what you need.

The disadvantage is that it's in a constant battle to work with closed and
proprietary hardware and protocols.

For example, MSN seems to have just blacklisted Pidgin from working with
its services (half expected since the purchase of Skype).  Now the Pidgin
mailing list is getting inundated with emails like "Can't connect to Pidgin
server".

Another advantage is that with tools like Wine, Cmake and Mingw, we can do
much more from a build perspective than Windows could (try building a Linux
binary on Windows... )

What you are really simulating is an "embedded" linux installation (which
the root filesystem rarely changes)  but in my experience these things have
limited success.

Installing to disk will most likely fix all of your problems, if that is an
option.

Additionally, if you don't need good audio playback, VirtualBox can have
you developing in no time (or if you are really courageous, run Windows in
VirtualBox and run Linux as primary)
