What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
An employee at Microsoft has actually experimented with wrapping Office 365 in Electron and also released packages for Linux.
-
It's time to give up on LibreOffice - integrate web based office suites directly into Ubuntu instead
An employee at Microsoft even did this in his spare time.: https://github.com/matvelloso/electron-office
- Ubuntu 22.10 is now so cool for me because can access to encrypted devices with BitLocker (like Kubuntu 22.04)...
- As a newbie, I'm very confused. Why does Linux not have one-click installations?
- Is Crossover for Office 365 still laggy / slow?
-
Why do people complains about high memory usage and high disk usage ? This is a brand new install of Windows 11 - it even uses less memory than a same install of Windows 10
For O365 there is this Electron wrapper. But not much else can be done and this is Microsoft's fault, not Linux's. We can't create a fully featured client for Microsoft just because Microsoft doesn't want to.

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.

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).
