Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The article is quite poorly written, and the title mentions ubuntu even though it has nothing to do with the feed readers (there are instructions for arch, but not ubuntu)

I personally love the nextcloud news app. It is exactly like the old google reader except no ads!

I've become a big fan of freshrss. Why would I want to install an app to follow RSS feeds that I'd open in the browser anyway, when I could just have the RSS feeds in the browser already. Just feels so much more consistent, and easy to save articles for later in the same browser.

My favorite way to handle RSS is rss2email. This will be exactly as good as your email workflow. Been using this for many years, I have about 16K RSS feed items under my "rss" tag in notmuch

A chore, no thanks.

this.

and I've got a client for Android, one for Linux and one for "everywhere I can ssh from"

it just works.

(and I can even forward articles with a single click)

I'm so glad I got into RSS, I totally underestimated it before.

Liferea was the first project I contributed to almost a decade ago. I use RSS Guard now but I'm glad to see it's still kicking.

Weirdly enough, my favorite (QuiteRSS) isn't on here.

Just give me functionality and minimalistic GTK4/Qt6 designs and I'm done.

Fluent is alright, but not madly in love with it.

[–] Jumuta 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

fluent is nice but it has a windows style titlebar which is very cringe :/

Yeah, it bothers me too.
