Autocad on Deck (again)
So, in all fairness, I'm running a version that i couldn't get working on Linux, and because of that, I'm running it on an SD card with Win10 installed in big picture mode. However, if you have an active license, you can use this tool https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux

Linux for Star Citizen
Just in case you weren't aware, Matlab and Simplify3D both have Linux versions as far as I can tell. For Solidworks it looks like there's an install script to get it working easily with Wine, but I don't know how reliable it is https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux

How to install Davinci?
novelWriter for books is like building a dungeon in D&D I might add. All it needs is a map editor ;)

What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
Novelwriter almost hits the sweet spot, but misses some features and is written in python, which makes some features hard to implement due to the nature of the programming language.

Try this software. It may well help you to write better -> novelWriter.

Looking for a 'Scrivener Light'
Alternatively, if you want Scrivener-like and are happy with open source projects, novelWriter scratches some of the same itch and is (a) free and (b) available on Linux, Windows, and macOS: it has a similar project-oriented interface to Scrivener, can export projects in HTML, Open Document, Markdown, Plain Text, or PDF, supports tagging and metadata, and uses Markdown for authoring. It's much less hot on importing foreign files (it's really an authoring tool) but is implemented in Python, uses XML/Json for internal files/metadata/configuration, and in use feels like an early version of Scrivener 1.x (which is really what your students want, but Lit'n'Latte discontinued it about a decade ago and you can no longer buy it).

MSWord is surprising to hear. I would've thought some specific tools like Vellum. There are free and open source tools as well, like https://novelwriter.io/
