After many (too many) attempts, I finally managed to get SketchUp working under openSuse linux — using the linux wine app (Windows program loader / translation layer). Now I can make my woodworking plans without booting Windows. I think I last had it running when I was using Ubuntu — and, perhaps, on a previous computer. It’s been a while.
PS — Almost as soon as I posted this, SketchUp stopped working. Argh! An update to wine appeared to defeat my fix. After some head scratching (and much cursing) I was again able to celebrate — quietly — at 2 AM.

You’re going to build a flat-screen? Yay!
