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.

I'm not sure I understand... I thought all readers did this.
Doesn't liferea do it? (It's also gtk iirc)
Well, Thunderbird doesn't, so I couldn't tell if all others were the same, :(
Thanks !
You're welcome!
Had no idea that thunderbird didn't do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.
elfeed in emacs
Emacs gang
Liferea has "search folders" that let you define conditions for which stories/feeds show up in them.
As usual, I'll swing by to say Newsboat even though it is not really a GUI or GTK.
I aggregate all my YouTube subs into a single entry, for example. Very useful.
RssGuard
Check out Fluent Reader, it's the best looking and the most featureful RSS reader I know of on Linux. Does have a common view as well.
I second Fluent Reader. I even did a video about it as I was pretty impressed with it for its full text retrieval. It has an articles view, as well as lots of good display options.
Thanks, I'll keep it as a 2nd option, since it's Electron based.
For android: Feeder is just great For linux desktop: Newsboat
True. Feeder is a great app. Every morning, I wake up and have my coffee while reading my news feed via Feeder.
What about Raven Reader? It's Electron, yet it didn't feel like an Electron app. I used it before switching to Newsflash. My only reason for switching was that Raven didn't work well with FreshRSS.
Akgregator works as described
akregator is unfortunately part of the kde-pim, requiring akonadi, and a bunch of kde deps, see for example:
% pacman -S akregator

I was hoping there's something which way less dependencies, hopefully GTK rather than Qt... At some point I wanted to use kmail and korganizer, also part of kde-pim, but besides korganizer never fixing a pretty old bug, the amount of deps I needed, plus the akonadi DB, made go back on that attempt. The same goes for akregator unfortunately...
That's unfortunate. I can't think of a Gnu/Linux reader with as much functionality. Maybe you could try using self-hosted online readers like tiny rss
Selfhosted: Miniflux Client cli: newsboat open browser links
I am new to Linux and the concept of "rss",I have use fluent reader on Linux and feeder for Android to read news which support rss service.However,I still don't understand what is aggregator and why do I need it? The only thing I have done so far is copy the rss link and paste to my rss reader. Could anyone eli5 to me?
