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 new look is pretty good, but it really lags when it try to switch the UI

Looks great I'll have to give it a spin

I've always had issues with this app. Could never get it to run properly and it doesn't support the Old Reader API which is the Google Reader API so it's open source and freely available. There no excuse for not supporting it first.

I prefer FluentReader because of the higher information density.

It is pretty, but far inferior to rssguard in features.

Currently using Lifera on Ubuntu 20.05 w Gnome 36. Took Newsflash for a spin via Snap installer. Here's why I'm sticking w Lifera: No Dark mode for the primary interface No built-in HTML rendering No support for This Old Reader No icon in the task bar

Now if I could just get Lifera to revert to the 3 parallel panes, life would be good.

The flatpak works well for me. Always ends up using too much RAM but the latest versions seem to be better about it now.
