If I don't use Windows or Mac and only use Linux, will I run into a lot of compatibility issues?
CAD options on Linux are more limited than windows or mac but they do exist. The industry standard for 2d CAD files is the .dxf file format. I use LibreCAD. https://librecad.org/ The UI is a little clunky and eccentric in places but it is feature complete for 2d CAD drawings.

Any drawing app other than autocad na easy to access?
Try https://librecad.org/

Open source alternative that is most similar to AutoCAD?
LibreCAD similar UI, only for 2D
-
Windows / MacOS - Home/garden design
You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe)

Everything you need to know about CAD humble bundle
It seems like a low risk purchase for $1, however, there are free options available too such as https://librecad.org/ . Or see https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/117ki1c/comment/j9v0v37/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 for an older Autocad clone. Beckercad 2D seems like a niche product so I would probably invest my time learning something that is more mainstream.

If I don't use Windows or Mac and only use Linux, will I run into a lot of compatibility issues?
DerpCAM is what I'm currently using. Disclaimer: a good friend of mine is the lead developer and I've been heavily involved in the testing and feedback process. It's in the relatively early stages of development but it's all I use for 2.5d work. https://github.com/kfoltman/DerpCAM I made a few YouTube videos about it. Eg: https://youtu.be/eU6pck5KVbg More functionality is on the way. Take a look at some of the other GitHub branches to see what's coming.
- A friend and i have been working on 2.5D CAM software as a hobby project. The primary motivation is to fill a gap in our own tool chain but it's at the stage it's quite useful so thought i'd share.
