On GNOME, I like BlackBox, though Prompt looks promising once it’s stable.

Actually, the primary dev is no longer active. The other developers have moved to a fork called Input Leap that has Wayland support.
Maybe try Input Leap. It’s an actively maintained fork of Barrier (Barrier isn’t maintained), and it has Wayland support.

Most of what you said applies to the Linux kernel too. It’s good to have other options, but being popular does not mean something is bad.

Also, KOReader adds a bunch of extra features and functionality.
Kindles are really hard to root. Use XDA Developers forum for this kind of thing. https://xdaforums.com/t/fire-hd-8-2018-only-unbrick-downgrade-unlock-root.3894256/, which is what that guide is based on, looks like it only works for the 2018 version and seems way more difficult and risky than most ROM installations. Also, that won’t install Linux, just a different Android version.
Honestly, an actual ereader might work out better for you if that’s all you plan to do.
You can’t do that. Installing custom ROMs on Android devices is very different than installing an OS on a desktop/laptop. Most devices don’t allow changing the OS at all, most of the ones that do don’t have any Linux builds, and then you’ll be stuck with whatever distro you’re given (probably UBPorts or maybe PostmarketOS) rather than choosing your own.

They have reverse engineered the iMessage API and are using that to connect to the iMessage servers. It is literally impossible to do as you suggest (use entirely their own resources) because iMessage is centralized and cannot federate with any other server, even if one did exist.

It’s not a MitM or anything like that, it’s connecting exactly how an Apple device would connect. Everything is still E2EE, just one of the ends can now be an Android device.
I think their RSS feed has a placeholder title for this.
It would be largely fine, but be careful. Being immutable, a lot of things that you would expect will work differently or not at all. I would not recommend it, but if you’re in for a challenge, it’s not bad.
