Out of the things you listed, this strikes me as the most important.
Linux really needs standards. When I install software on Windows, it
knows how to add its startup services. On Linux, this is all manual
work if your distro isn't supported, especially on Gentoo. If there's
no ebuild for it, you spend your whole day trying to make it work.
