If you mean that Scivener is somehow treated differently than other 
applications on Linux, then no, it is not "special."

What that might mean is that Linux is very customizable, due to being 
free/open source, and so a custom workflow can be created (i.e. choosing a 
different window manager/compositor, using different applications, etc).

What defines "rising above the lowest common denominator?"
