Not really a lot of work. Just change the EPubProd.apk extension to .zip (you can pull the file from the device or take it from a downloaded update.zip file, it's under /system/app/), and modify the text file assets/environments/app.properties.prod inside it, changing UPDATE_CHECK_URL= to anything invalid (like http://0.0.0.0/, details).

Then replace the file on the device (with the original extension, .apk) and make sure the metadata matches (chown root.root, chmod 644, chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0).

On Linux it's just the same as long as you have ADB, which you can install manually or with a package manager, depending on the distribution you are using (apt-get install adb, yum install android-tools, etc.)
