I already have a setup like that. I have a win10 machine running a
virtual machine under hyper-v that is running ubuntu linux. Both work
OK, but I would like to ditch windows altogether. Maybe that's silly,
but on principle I would like to be running open source as much as
possible. Except for fronimo, of course.

Back before I retired from the tech industry (2015), I used Vagrant with
VirtualBox on a Linux computer to run various operating systems as virtual

simplifies using VMs, including but not limited to VirtualBox). Strictly, you
need a license to run Windows 10 in a virtual machine, although if you don't
connect to the internet it will probably work OK. Never actually tried it,
though. IIRC, you can get free Vagrant boxes to run earlier versions of
Windows, which might be an option as long as Fronimo doesn't have Windows 10
specific code.

Subject: [LUTE] Ris: Re: fronimo under wine?
In my experience Fronimo cannot work "directly" on a Linux platform
using Wine. But an alternative way to make it work is to install in
your Linux a Virtual Machine that let you run Windows: first thing to
do is creating a Windows Virtual Machine. Second step is to install and
run FRONIMO as normal. This is not a 100%"pure" Linux solution but it
works well, printing procedures etc. included. Hope this can help.

I agree. I would buy Fronimo if it worked properly under Linux.
I had trouble in the demo version. Printing to file didn't work
(blank
pages though the preview is visible. Is this deliberate?).
That's sad because I have some fronimo files from the yahoo group I
would have loved to print.
Also I would love to contribute to Sarge's archive.
