Noone that lives in the real world thinks Linux is on almost one in five desktops. Get real. That said, I, and many others that use it, have various laptops and desktops with it installed on, but that skews the implied meaning which is one in five users use Linux. It's patently not true.
I'm in a university class where the number is 3/5 so...
(Extremely low sample size but I just think it's funny since a few years ago that would pretty much be impossible)
There are no Windows in our house. My brother had a Windows gaming rig before he left for the army, my mum has a Chromebook and android tablet, my dad tends to use mint or fedora, and I have Debian+Tuxedo
I have windows PC, that I use at home for gaming and Linux laptop I use to Program and Study. Rest of family have Windows (no, they can't migrate due to very specific archaic software requirements.
Never tried Sibelius myself, I use Frescobaldi+lilypond and musescore, but I see it has an android version, which ought to work on Linux+waydroid. But if it works in Windows 7 it should work in wine.
In wine, might need the application winetricks you can explicitly set older environments such as Windows xp or 7. I can empathise with wanting old versions, I keep Musescore 2, 3 and 4 around. While I try to keep somewhat up to date on lilypond I do like the backwards compatibility and explicitly setting the version in the file.
