https://novelwriter.io/ is free and open source (I haven't used it, only know about it).
- I'm from Linux and I'd like to ask a question. Is there an Open Source map editor hereabouts?

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).

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/

systemd GUI that works and is maintained (and will work on Mint)?
There is systemdgenie. It has a kind of pseudo-repository (here) with a link to another repository. I call one repository 'pseudo-' (and it is here) because it has no issue tracker and because it seems to direct one, via a link, to another repository; but the link is broken. And when I try to install the program, using the instructions and code on the 'pseudo-repository' (which does contain those things), a seemingly essential step in the process (the one starting cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX - I can't give the whole command here because it breaks Reddit's formatting).
