Linux is different - or windows is:

Not even root has the permission to write (and read) your screen - so no 
gui for root.

There are only a few things which are not in the repositories - and 
these few make much more trouble than all the others.
If you use the qt creator which comes with suse this is no problem.

A normal user shouldn't be able to install software for system wide use.

And the standard is for distributions, where a single user install a 
single package for his one usage is not much of a problem
