I’m going to choose a VM.

Invidious currently works for me. I use this instance: https://inv.nadeko.net/

Tried it several times! Didn’t fix the issue…

I don’t think mintinstall lets you change where you’re installing the program… Interestingly, I ran flatpak search libreoffice again and it quickly returned some packages, which it didn’t do before. Still can’t install anything though…

Linux Mint is supposed to come with Flatpak support by default. Running flatpak remotes shows that I have flathub configured:

Name    Options
flathub system

That said, thank you for answering! I appreciate it, even if it doesn’t solve my issue.

If you might need to share anything to Windows devices (unlikely), Localsend is much better. Also I think Warpinator couldn’t share text (maybe I just didn’t see that option or it has been added), but Localsend can do that. But they’re not that different.

I personally use KOReader for EBooks. You can download a dictionary on it and it’ll tell you the meaning of any words you select. I suggest you give it a try. Oh, and if you wanted to read PDFs MJ PDF is great.

Maybe try delta.chat? I use it, and it’s quite good. Just make sure the guaranteed end to end encryption thing is on.
