My Atomic Cobalt2 worked on Windows and macOS but failed on Linux. I think
the failure on Linux is a configuration issue on my part but for
completeness I get the following in the console:
ERROR: Failed to open the usb device. [in ../../src/atomics_cobalt.c:117
(atomics_cobalt_device_open)]
INFO: dc_deveice_open error value of -6
I get that error on both Subsurface-4.7.8-73-ga12ea13d51f5-x86_64.AppImage
and Subsurface-4.7.8-x86_64.AppImage.

This looks like a permission error. Have you installed the necessary udev rules?

Download this file:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libdivecomputer/libdivecomputer/master/contrib/udev/libdivecomputer.rules

and copy it to /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory.

(This assumes you are in the plugdev group.)

My Suunto D4i failed on all three platforms. It gave various errors on the
platforms:
Windows 10:
 the red banner at the bottom of the main window with the message
"Unsupported operation"

Difficult to tell without further info. Did you install the USB driver?

Fedora: A message box with the message "Unable to open /dev/ttyUSB0" and a
message on the console "ERROR: Failed to receive the answer. [in
../../src/suunto_d9.c:253 (suunto_d9_device_packet)]

Looks again like a permission error. Make sure you're in the dialout group:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

(You'll have to logout and login again before this takes effect.)

macOS: A message box with the message "Error downloading dive data"

No idea.
