Just your friendly, neighborhood, geek who loves to crochet.
I think (but I have not tested) that if you can use the DeDRM plugins to import your books into Calibre… You might be able to use Calibre’s conversion function to make them all ePubs (which are Kobo friendly). I don’t have a Kindle but I do use a Kobo and have had to run DeDRM and some conversions to make books compatible.
Good luck!
Jellyfin? Or SubSonic? I don’t know if SubSonic is still around, but I’ve heard good things about Jellyfin.
Android auto definitely doesn’t work (I tried Calyx briefly earlier this year).
What also doesn’t work without a lot of finicky tricks is Google Calendar. I myself haven’t quite gotten rid of Gmail and my calendar in Gmail yet, and that was a big headache I was not willing to live without just yet.
Outside of those two things it served my needs but I did not try any of the Microsoft products so I can’t speak to those.
I’ve not used it personally (I use Plex), but I have heard great things about Jellyfin. Does it maybe have the feature you need?
As long as it’s optional.
I am so sick of algorithmic crap it’s not even funny. As long as I can turn it off, then by all means, develop away.
Ya… I’m with you 100%. It really feels like commercial software is the “minimum viable product” rather than a complete and quality piece of software. I’ve opted for FOSS solutions wherever possible for me and it has worked out swimmingly. Only place I’m still struggling is my home PC. Making the jump to Linux and potentially risking game compatibility is still a bit of a hurdle for me, but once my Win10 license loses support, Linux will be a very strong contender for my main OS.
