I don't use Linux, but take a look at ArenaGUI, available also for Linux :

http://www.playwitharena.de/

and Banksia GUI, also available for Linux (you can analyze)

https://banksiagui.com/download/

PS : I use both of them under Windows and they are very complete

XBoard should offer all features needed for interactive analysis (multi-PV, move exclusion, null move, creating variations recursively and store those as PGN).
