The perspective view is probably "Knights", which can replace Xboard as
a GUI, but there are several 3D interfaces for Linux.

GNU Chess 5.02 only shows hints when it is thinking, so not when still
in the opening book.

GNU Chess 5.06 thinks all the time unless told not to, and thus can
always show hints (unless it has been nobbled).

I think the "book" comand was missing at 5.02 as well, but I might be
wrong on that, but should be fine in 5.06.

There are some silly new bugs in 5.06's new features, due to me messing
up, a bug fix 5.07 will be released shortly.

GNU Chess 5 is the only version currently supported by the GNU project.
Apple apparently support a version of GNU Chess 1 for Apple computers.
