linux-packaging-scripts VS novelWriter

It seems like you can play 1.19 in the latest version

Use MCPE Launcher. It downloads the Android version of minecraft and replaces native android libraries with corresponding desktop linux libraries. You need to own it on the play store, though and it crashes pretty often. The AUR version if outdated, use the appimage instead https://github.com/ChristopherHX/linux-packaging-scripts/releases

For Java, I would say Prism Launcher (in Discover app store), for Bedrock, your best bet is the Android version with this Appimage (you'll need to own the Android version and sign in with your Google account, just make sure to select the x86_64 version).

Best you'll get is this: https://github.com/ChristopherHX/linux-packaging-scripts/releases

This is Minecraft: Bedrock Edition running on SteamOS using MCPELauncher, which works by running the android version of Minecraft on Linux. So in order to play, you must own Minecraft on the Google Play Store.

This is the one, it's no longer supported. It works up to the last 1.18. You have to own bedrock on the android playstore, as it uses that version.

This works freaking great, but like we both said, it's not the latest version so online functionality is non-existent.

Never buy the book, start writing the book, https://novelwriter.io/ ;)

novelwriter.io

https://novelwriter.io/ is free and open source (I haven't used it, only know about it).

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

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.

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/
