My mum uses Linux and is a writer and wants Scrivener (yes, Linux is mainstream).

There used to be a Linux version. You can still find it, it's v.1.6 or so (predating v.2), needs 32-bit libraries and is unsupported. But you can get it running. The problem is if you bring the project file into a new version it will convert the file format and there's no going back.
I am fairly certain of this: A port to Linux of your latest version would be worth your troubles Sir.
Alrighty, it’s now available on the website. Tell your friends :)
