It was tricky to get used to the Linux mentality of not really having a dedicated double-clickable “executable type”. But it makes sense - if you want to run code, that should be a planned action by an app that is dedicated to the task of setting up new code. (Package manager, IDE)

I mean you can just execute anything from the primary Linux interface - the commandline. It seems equivalent.

Well, casey beat me to it. By default anything you've grabbed from the internet or a flash drive won't have execute permissions on it, so it's intentionally more obtuse to run than Windows' simple "Are you sure you want to run this unknown publisher" dialog.
