It seems that the MD crashes were due to a missing function in a DLL, and this appears to have been fixed in a more recent version of Wine. I’m not going to chase this up right now, but once I feel ready to make some new clothes a few months forward, I’ll grab the latest MD version at that point for a free trial and check again if I can get it to work reliably under Linux.

Using my Surface instead is an option despite the limitations of the graphics card, but I don’t love the tiny screen for this kind of thing. Can a surface drive an external monitor via USB? No idea how computers work these days, LOL.
