To make this clear, UNIX/Linux are not FreeWindowsWithLessBugs(tm). If you look at the ways they differ from Windows and think, "I can use that feature to solve problems," then maybe Linux is for you.

The difference is as much in philosophy as anything. Windows provides the bare minimum of features and expects you to buy upgrades and proprietary programs to make up the difference. Linux has most features available by default, more robustly and with more options, with a less polished interface,

Creating disk images in Windows: Feature removed in 199x when it stopped being DOS, so dish out the moolah for a proprietary implementation.
Creating disk images in UNIX: Disks are literally files, so any command-line utility capable of reading files can deal with disks. Nonetheless there's a variety of tools. It's a bad idea to use them while the partition's being written to, but we can't stop you.

Burning CDROM images in Windows: We added this feature 20 years too late and nobody cares any more.
Burning CDROM images in UNIX: A flagship feature since 1996.

etc.

GUI-wise, Linux/Unix seem to be trying hard to imitate Windows these days. But the GUI is only skin-deep, not deeply integrated.

winicontoppm

winicontoppm(1)                                               General Commands Manual                                              winicontoppm(1)

NAME

       winicontoppm - convert a Windows .ico file into 1 or more portable pixmap files

SYNOPSIS

       winicontoppm [-writeands] [-allicons|-bestqual] [-multippm] [-verbose] [iconfile] [ppmdestfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file, converts it to one or more ppms.

       A  Windows  icon  contains  1  or  more  images,  at  different resolutions and color depths.  Each image has an 'and' mask, which contains
       transparancy data.

       By default, the output goes to Standard Output.  If you specify ppmdestfile, output goes into one or more files named as follows.  If  it's
       just  one file (i.e. you specify the -multippm option or don't specify -allicons), the file specification is ppmdestfile.ppm.  If it's mul-
       tiple files, their file specifications are ppmdestfile_1.ppm, ppmdestfile_2.ppm, etc.

       When you specify the -writeands option, the filenames above are modified to include the string xor as in  ppmdestfile_xor.ppm  or  ppmdest-
       file_xor_1.ppm.

       winicontoppm can convert images with 1, 4, 8, 24 or 32 bits per pixel (bpp).

OPTIONS

       -writeands
              For  each  icon  written,  also  write  the  'and'  (transparancy)  mask  as a seperate PBM file.  It's name is of the form ppmdest-
              file_and.pbm or ppmdestfile_and_1.pbm.

       -allicons
              Extract all images from the .ico file.

       -bestqual
              Extract only the best quality (largest, then highest bpp) image from the .ico file.

       -multippm
              Write all ppms to a single file.
