Using Multiple TOTP Apps with Paypal
My problem is that Aegis (open source) does not have a Linux app so I have to use an alternative. I found OTPClient, and it seems to fit the bill for a privacy concerns, but I can't figure out how to add it in PayPal as a second device to authenticate with.

Idgaf... I'm leaving my coins on an exchange where it is insured... Too many scams out there that even crypto vets are falling for.
You can export your secret keys from Aegis, then import them into OTPClient if you want to use it on Desktop. That's the benefit of Aegis being FOSS. Your are not locked in to only using their products.

Authenticator that doesn't require mobile device or sms?
You didn't share your OS, but on Linux you could use Authenticator or OTPClient. If you want something cross-platform that will sync to multiple devices like Authy, you could give TokenVault in Standard Notes a try.

My phone is a major distraction. Also my phone is mandatory to have near because I need 2FA to get passwords.
Expanding on the recommendations here, if you have some old laptop laying around (or can buy one on the cheap off e.g. Craigslist or something), you could install some Linux distro on it, install an OTP generator app (e.g. OTPClient, and then disconnect it from the network entirely. This would probably be considerably more secure than even using a phone, since the only way for someone to steal your TOTP keys would be to have physical access to the machine (and even that can be mitigated, seeing as how any reasonably-modern Linux distro will support full-disk encryption).

Are there good alternatives to Google for 2FA?
Bottom line is, why in the world would you use a mysterious closed source app when there are better options out there? 2FAS is one of the better ones. Aegis Authenticator is another good choice for Android devices.

Amazon Account with unauthorised purchases, did my google passwords get leaked
You can enable 2fa with amazon I suggest you do that with a 2fa app like aegis, that will greatly increase the security of your account and require the 2fa code to login to your account.

Ask HN: How do you deal with TOTP 2-factor auth?
I use Aegis[1] on mobile and OTPClient[2] on my computer, both are regularly backed up on change.
I do not use the TOTP feature in my password manager (though I can split it to new DB in keepassXC) as feel it will defeat the purpose of 2FA.
