Is speaking of a linear linked linked in contrast to a circular linked list a valid / common term? For some examples I’m posting to my students I need to distinguish between both and don’t want to use terms which don’t actually exist!

I would simply call them “non-circular”.
Just for reference, Lisp defines “proper lists” as lists that are terminated by the empty list. “Improper” lists can be “circular lists” or “dotted lists” (lists that are not terminated by the empty list but by some other atom).
