What the hell would you need Visual Studio for? Most GNU/Linux distributions provide far, far better alternatives to everything you could think of.

Linux does support Unity natively, and has many IDEs, those are awful examples. I've been using Ubuntu to learn sdl, and by extension, make files, and it's pretty intuitive with coding. You even have a compiler built into the OS. The only things I really miss are Photoshop, iTunes (because seriously, no one else provides lossless quality with a good range of artists) and a few games.
