a webserver administrator that develops in PHP on Windows
this is your problem right here.
There are plenty of games that are not natively running on Linux - just check the Steam Store if you want examples. You can filter by OS.
You call it a "Windows dialogue box" but I am pretty sure you are talking about the "Save As" or "Open File" dialogues. This depends on which file manager you're using. When I go to open a file or save a file, I have ALL of the same options in Linux as Windows, if not more. I use Linux Mint with Cinnamon. They brewed their own file manager called Nemo and it is pretty badass.
If you don't understand when and why you need to run as a super-user, then you really need to spend more time learning about being an admin. In a Linux desktop environment, you will be prompted for SU access when appropriate. You really only need SU access when you are changing the configuration of the system. if you don't like it, log in as a root user.
Yes, the config files can be cryptic, but almost every one of them has a front-end that handles all the magic for you.
GFTPpro - never heard of it. Google says it's a windows application. Use whatever's bundled with OpenSSH.
Ubuntu sucks and should never be used for a production server. You want Debian-stable for that.
See #4.
You really don't understand why it's important that your system's configuration is protected by a password. Want malware? Run as root.
