Is there a Linux app that will run on most Linux OS. I have so much trouble running under Windows wondered about swapping OS

Thanks tried the web page but it's not as useful as the app which let's you download and keep on the PC until you delete them. I am surprised that Press Reader supply store for Windows and Mac but not Linux

I see there are still XP/2000 versions (rolls eyes) of pressreader on their site so there is a pretty good chance it will run under Wine, especially the lattest Wine6.0.

 

But must declare I have not tested it, but a rabbit hole the might be worth wasting an hour or two on.
