Removing Adobe DRM on Linux (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone! I bought some books from the Kobo store and they come with Adobe's DRM (ADE). I tried using the noDRM plugin (10.0.10 and some other fork 10.0.20) with the latest version of Calibre, but it didn't do anything. Then I tried downgrading to something like 8.7, still the same. Downgrading even further resulted in some Python versions mismatch and I couldn't be bothered to resolve it. Trying oboK threw errors because it needs (?) the Kobo desktop program. Trying the ACSM plugin seemed promissing as it was able to create an anonymized ID, but importing the files yet again didn't do anything... No errors, nothing.
Is there anythign else I could attemp besides booting into Windows?
Thanks!

Ive never got the calibre tools to work. Ive used a commandline tool named "knock" but i think it stopped working. Now i using one named acsm-get but i cant find it online anymoee. It still worked like 2 weeks ago when i last used it. They both take the acsm file and download a drm free epub
