There is KDevelop for writing KDE applications using C++ (i think) There are tons of other IDE's for developing applicaiotn in Linux. Just do a search on google.com/linux.

I've been learning SDL and OpenGL in plain old C (gcc). It seems relatively easy to learn for me and very powerful (I'm sure you could do as much with these as you could with Visual Studio). I've got a few Linux game development projects going including a couple of puzzle games, a space shoot-em-up and a racing sim.

I find this much easier than using an IDE, and I feel I would have never got this far in Windows. Then again, IDE's and object oriented programming really isn't my thing. :)
