NexusMods is working on their new post-vortex mod client, which does have Linux support. It can be found here on github.

That's stupid. Nothing stops you from just installing regular Ubuntu if you love snaps so much.

There's Librera FD, on F-droid. It's the open source version of Librera on the google play store. I believe it strips out the google api/cloud stuff, but its db /reading status/etc are all easily synced via Nextcloud (which is what I do). The only real negative I've found with it is that it's search for text in books is slow compared to more popular reading apps like Moon+ Reader.

Aegis is for Android, Ravio is an iOS app.

It is still possible if you have an old enough Kindle. I have a 1st gen paperwhite and can just connect it via USB to my PC and pull books off the kindle with Calibre and then remove the DRM.

Though if you're wanting to remove DRM from Kindle Unlimited books, you'll have to actually edit the DeDRM plugin code, as by default its set to not let it be run on KU books.

Have you tried adding it to Steam as a non-steam game and then forcing compatibility for it to proton experimental in Steam?

Basically any Fossil / Skagen (they're the same thing) Hybrid (meaning e-ink) watch will work with Gadgetbridge. I personally have the Fossil Machine Gen 6 Hybrid which works great. Ignore the 'Alexa' bit, that does nothing via Gadgetbridge (and in fact you can just flat out remove that 'app' in the GB app). Heart Rate and Message/Notification/Call control functions all work fine. Step tracking works, but sleep tracking does not (Fossil doesn't have it done on the watch, it's done in their app, so until/unless GB replicates that functionality it won't work).

I use a Fossil Hybrid watch with gadget bridge. Works really well, though one caveat is that while you can read and dismiss messages on the watch, you can't reply from it. This isn't a problem for my use case, but YMMV. The couple weeks of battery life is a great plus, though. (E-ink screen)

Wait why the hell is lemmy.world federated with Meta anyways? That seems... stupid?

if you have TCP only and decentralized peers/peer exchange/local peers turned off in qbittorrent (a good security idea if you're using a VPN to torrent already), you'll get added security at the cost of less peers. Not to say that's for sure what's going on for you, but if you have sane settings for security, it could well be the cause of the discrepancy.

You'll be fine so long as you aren't getting mass downloads of copyrighted material from your account.
