 @Rock Storm @206b5bf5 @8d62f4dd 
My advice be would:

Putting http://koreader.rocks/ on a supported mainstream device or buying @ee28ffdc's intruiging OpenBook https://www.oddlyspecificobjects.com/projects/openbook/ 
 @8d62f4dd I got a Kindle Paperwhite of the 10th gen specifically to jailbreak it (I followed the mobiread forums and got one on ebay, when a new jailbreak was out). 
I installed https://koreader.rocks and it's a great reading experience - even if I would not care about privacy and being free of DRM, koreader is just excellent. 

(I got that Kindle for being waterproofed and robust, and it's likely my longest surviving eInk device now, despite being with me constantly for over 4 years.)

 @9b5e2e1b I've tried the AUR neosurf-git package and ... it's not too much of  a departure from netsurf for the gtk-part and the visurf variant is quite crashy ATM (click a link -> crash) 
 I have not tried it out, but NeoSurf (https://github.com/CobaltBSD/neosurf ) might be worth a look for everyone who follows/followed  #visurf (https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/visurf/) looking for a lightweight browser.

 @a06711c5 I've managed to work in an editorial office for almost 10 years, but somehow I am still able to read 😜

 Which non-Linux operating systems have aarch64 version and are freely available?

Already checked...

 Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (39/2023): New #DanctNIX images and a #NemoMobile roundup 

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-39-2023/

#PinePhone #PinePhonePro #SailfishOS #Librem5 #Librem11 #LinuxMobile 
 The Weekly #MobileLinux Update is again delayed, I hope to publish it tomorrow. 
 I definitely missed something, I just installed #Epiphany and it's very much usable on my #Pineph... 
 @33109f92 It has been optimized and initial bugs likely were fixed. It has been pretty good on my phones ever since 44 and GTK4/libadwaita.

Which distribution are you using? 
 A touchscreen on a smartwatch is just so dumb to me. My finger covers 3/4 of the screen when I go... 
 @8d17c883 I agree. That said, once the universe runs out of working Pebbles, a watch with reflective, always on screen like the bangle.js2 is workable - it has haptic feedback that helps when navigating menus partially obscured by finger. (Still: Buttons win, 100%) 
 @c9ad4eba Nice, mainline ftw!
Too bad flathub does not support ARMv7, no idea how you can fill all that space now 🥳😂 
 The Weekly Update is delayed until tomorrow (hopefully).

 @d2873ff1 @ca704b3b Recommendations: Kasts (also install Flatseal and to set a few env-variables (ping me for details) and GNOME Podcasts (should be more OOTB, but has less features), all known options: https://linuxphoneapps.org/categories/podcast-client/ 
 Weiß jemand ob #axolotl für #linuxmobile noch weiterentwickelt wird? Das letzte Release war 202... 
 @d2873ff1 Das Problem bei alternativen Signal-Clients ist vor allem, ob gerade die Registrierung geht. Ich habe auf meinem PinePhone eine uralte axolotl-Installation, die noch gut funktioniert, aber das heißt nicht, dass ich mich heute mit Axolotl registrieren können.
Was das Projekt angeht: Wenn man sich verschiedene Branches ansieht, passiert da noch einiges, definitiv nicht tot: https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/tree/main

 @7529feac @4d1b32f3 Which Display Link are you playing with? I need to continue tinkering with the a USB 2 UDL HP adapter recommended in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gXsbBf8S_Y
From all I've read about the "newer variant", it generally works best in Ubuntu. 
 @5353a4c1 Is that about running X apps over the network? If so, can you please, please tell them about Waypipe? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe/

 @db9ab784 You did not really miss it, it was published about an hour or two before finishing the Weekly Update - that was a very productive train ride :-)

 @52d87c48 Do you have suspend enabled? I had a similar issue with (in my case) "everything is read only" when enabling suspend on postmarketOS booted from SD card. SInce the microSD card reader ADFAIK is connected over USB internally on the #Librem5 and USB being a bit notorious for being difficult with suspend resume, I suspect this is the issue.

(I have 0 experience with using the SD card in PureOS for /home; for I mounted a music folder for a while (read-only would have been okay)).

 @f2deef93 Actually: Nope.

 @f2deef93 Um.. no idea. Please rephrase ;-)
