Yes and no. There isn't the same amount of software out there as there is for windows, although development and other things like that are usually better on Linux than windows. If it runs on windows, there is always wine, a windows emulator. Also, most things are not as polished, meaning you sometimes have to get your hands dirty either using the terminal or digging in the system files to make things work right. Other than that, not really. Things like browsers and other apps built for linux usually work right out of the box (usually, if you use apt).
