It's fixed by now I think ; I never update between projects, so sometimes would go a few months between updates and it hasn't happen anymore. When it did, the fix was simple enough while still annoying of course.
AFAIK now the keyring gets updated first if needed. In the middle of something here, can't try unfortunately - but at the time of the issue, while the first-level answer was "Update All The Things (all the time)", the problem was on the table, and acknowledged as in need of a fix.
Amazon je peux pas. La paperwhite est la meilleure liseuse que j'aie jamais possédé, avec la puce 3g et l'accès wikipedia partout dans le monde + rétro-éclairage + Calibre (I use Arch btw) + la fluidité du logiciel, c'était la meilleure.
Mais je peux plus quoi. Tout est immonde dans cette entreprise.
Donc après m'être assis dessus, j'ai choisi kobo mais c'est encore pas terrible, dit-on. On les accuse d'être un rouleau compresseur qui tue les petites librairies.
Bon j'ai bien tout regardé le site de vivlio, c'est DRM, application propriétaire etc.
This one took a stupid amount of time to debug - but on the other hand, when grub failed it did with "can't find any bootable thingy" and not "missing configuration file" as, in my later opinion, it should.
I fully don't get sync. It's drowned in ads (or, if you have custom DNS, full of endless black placeholders for ads), and feature-wise just like Connect. I haven't checked for a while, but I remember people asking for stuff that was already here on Connect.
A cool turn on that one is by the Arch Linux Wiki, which calls it Read The FINE Manual. Owning to the fact that this particular wiki is quite excellent. I use Arch BTW.
Plenty of features. Last time I checked, it was on par, or better, with sync. As ad-supported freeware, sync just bas too many ads, which on my phone turns into endless black squares of blocked content.
You van support Connect with the usual buy-me-coffee thingy.
Not one more repository to add, sign, reload at each update. And can get compromised.
Not one more piece of software to run that may, or may not, run properly (looking at you ProtonVPN)
Just download the wireguard or openvpn configs to some desired exit points, load them into NetworkManager as described, and BINGO you have an integrated way of switching desired location, a visual icon in the taskbar confirming your status, and no extra hassle.
Did you know that qbittorrent can be told to only work if the VPN is on? There are places where it matters.
And to answer your question, no, that is not normal. If a piece of software isn't available for your distribution, then consider finding another. Like, here, using NetworkManager to do the job!
Except one, all of them are very short indeed. Tho when I discovered the series, All Systems Red was cheap, probably to get you hooked. I liked them a lot, tho after a while it tends to repeat itself a bit. I'd say buy them one at a time and decide how far you'll go?
Mac. Why the eff can I not remove StockMarket, Weather, Chess (and so many more)... On an Audio WorkStation dedicated to Studio / Live work? Even in terminal, command line from rescue mode with permissions butchered. Argh.
Seriously, how many of us lemmies live somewhere else? I'm in Rabat atm, there's zero assassinated pine trees covered in brightly coloured plastic shit in sight. And everything is Business As Usual here.
