I think when I try this I would use the snap install for Pied on kubuntu or ubuntu distro.

Looking forward to checking this out, next time i am booted up in my linux distro at home, now in calibre in linux do you need any plugins for the text to speech installed for the viewer or does it just work with Pied?
p.s. is the calibre gettings any HDR support for when kde plasma 6 makes its way to all the linux distros, so far I think KaOS-2024.01-x86_64 has plasma 6, and is stable, I don't know if it has the supported HDR for monitors yet feature, not sure about KDE neon yet,
I know testing builds of KDE neon have plasma 6 but I don't know if its in its stable version yet, since both have snap I think installing Pied on either of them should be easy maybe. I have a have a M28U 4k display that supports 144 Hz with HDR included, its a gigabyte monitor, in linux when I use it with my 4k display besides the Fedora linux distro of kde plasma
I find that I have to go to 1080 with Fedora's Gnome linux distro, both linux distro's like silverblue distro does not detect my monitor correctky, but its kinoite has a better setting for my 4k monitor so far it's been the best one I used with my older desktop and Linux, my newer desktop I still use windows with currently for my video games.

https://kaosx.us/ -- plasma 6 is already on this linux distro if anyone wants to know that.
I look at distrowatch for news about new linux distro features and stuff like that.
