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).

Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years
Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)
LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/
Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.
If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.
