Does anyone maintain a thread - ideally routinely updating (and timestamping) the first post in a thread - detailing what version of DeDRM is compatible and works with what version of Calibre?

I know there are several threads related to this plugin, but one I recently looked at was well over a thousand posts and has been being updated for years as things change. It is hard to wade through all that information if you have not been keeping up with it over the years.

Additionally, if looks like there is a DeDRM plugin, and now there appears to be a forked NoDRM plugin. Why would you chose one over the other?

I am wanting to know, "Which newest version of Calibre needs to be installed on a Linux system, which version of DeDRM or NoDRM, and which version of the newer ACSM plugin - so that everything is compatible and works?" Maybe the answer is "install the newest of everything". That would be ideal. But it could take me hours/days to wade through all the outdated information posted on this topic to come to that conclusion. I'm interested in using the plugin(s), but not necessarily following new developments in them on a day to day basis.

Currently, because I'm afraid to break anything, I am running Calibre 3.48 and DeDRM 6.5.4 and this works for me. Except to use the new ACSM plugin, it appears I need to move to Calibre 5. Which then begs the question, "What will this move do regarding DeDRM?" The answer may be glaringly obvious to many here who follow these plugins, but it's not obvious to those of us who don't follow plugin updates routinely.

Thanks for any pointers to the most current information that doesn't require scrolling through a 1000+ post thread.
