An update on Debian 11: I just successfully set up and installed Scrivener on a 64-bit prefix. The checklist is pretty much as described above, with only two exceptions:
- Do not install speechsdk. It is not necessary for installation, but if you do want text-to-speech, 64-bit probably isn’t for you at this time. Instead, follow the advice given by @garpu in this thread.
- Installed up to dotnet462. I did not test further, and that is the minimum Scrivener requires to run.
For further info, I did still have the i386 apt repositories enabled, and wine32 installed. I do not think it would make a difference to have it off, but if you run into dotnet installation issues without it, that may be something to look into doing.
There is are no separate versions, if you choose to purchase it you’ll unlock the copy you already have installed.
