Kobo and Linux - situation in 2017?

I'm one of the economic refugees from XP-land to Linux Mint. My tech skills are medium-poor-patchy, though I can get lucky with simple cookbook instructions.

What is the current situation around connecting a Kobo to a Linux desktop/laptop via USB cable so I can downgrade Kobo software/firmware?

I've got a Aura HD but I assume that the method is common with other models. Is this so?

I've found that Kobo offer no Linux support.
And that downloading the Kobo Desktop program to my Linux computer is blocked in both Firefox and Chromium browsers.

Currently when I connect the PC and Kobo via USB the Kobo is recognised but File manger shows no folders or files on the device.
