In this example flatpak versions are closely mirroring the Calibre versions and working very reliably with the limitation of being sandboxed.. Like Quoth I too will always choose a deb from Ubuntu ppa or third-party ppa first and then flatpak or snap if not.
How well does Pied work on Kde Neon, I been thinking of dual booting it on my new pc, with the testing version which Plasma 6, I have windows 11 installed to the SSD drive, and two other hard drives, one which I could install a Linux to it. I had used rufus and live booted my USB media drive, and took some screen shots, there is like a few red items in Firmware Security, all my but one of External hard drive work from Linux, I have a old IOMAGIC drive that doesn't work well with Linux, otherwise my other two do. I can use snap with Kde Neon to install Pied, also I need to install NVidia drivers for Nvidia RTX 3070 card, the motherboard is z690 AORUS gigabyte brand, and I have it in a Cooler Masters case. Lately the IRIS on HAF700 EVO was crashing ghosting effect on its display on the front of the case for showing like CPU temp, been doing this since Master plus windows software released that firmware update to the IRIS on the HAF700 EVO case again was thinking of switching to Linux since Linux doesn't have it turning on when you bootup a live USB image like ubuntu or other KDE Neon from USB drive, again I have yet to install it on this pc, only did a live mode from USB drive, to share some screenshots, I do plan on installing this Linux on my older gigabyte desktop at home, I might wait for a few more stable builds of KDE plasma 6 before I use it on my newer pc we built at home. and No my Facebook will not log into the cooler master website, last time I tried I was unable to get on their support website, about the iris display problem, my parents got me the case from amazon.com website. I have no problems running calibre from Linux I done this before on my older pc at home. This pc has also a Intel AlderLake-S GT1 GPU in it, I don't know if I have to install drivers for that one, or if it just works in linux, neon-testing-20240207-1524.iso downloaded image used with rufus-4.4 and my USB drive.
