I’m personally using NewsFlash at the moment, and it’s perfectly fine, but its borders are completely incongruous with my theme, I assume they’re based around Gnome and I’m on Plasma, so I’m looking for a new one and was wondering what people here use?

On top of one for Linux, I’d be curious on if any of you have recommendations for Android or iOS, as only being able to check the news on my pc has led to me relying on RSS a bit less than I’d like.

      I didn’t know Thunderbird did this. I was trying to think why people would use it who have all their email in one web page already. I use Proton and it seemed unnecessary and yet everyone on Linux seems to use it. I love a good RSS reader though!

        It’s much less annoying than always leaving a web browser open especially if you have multiple accounts from different providers

        I was trying to think why people would use it who have all their email in one web page already.

        I would prefer a web client (since emails are already interlinked with the web so a tab for it is less annoying to me) but none of the options satisfied me so I just landed there. You either use a provider with already good web mail (gmail, proton, …) or you end up with Thunderbird.

        But maybe I’ve missed an option. The best one I’ve had was Nextcloud Mail but it was really slow to load and search.

        I personally prefer native email clients to web (no browser overhead, no ads, no sweet-lord-Yahoo-why-is-that-feature-there, simple no-nonsense layout, plus several features web clients don’t have like viewing message headers (which often reveal some fairly interesting information about the various servers the email passed through on its way to your inbox) and, of course, the ability to read email while offline)

      Oh, I did not even know it supported RSS/Atom, that’s lovely! I think I’ll move to that then, thank you :D

      Newsboat, which others recommended, also seems interesting, but I personally appreciate images, so that one is sadly a no-go for me, even if being able to ssh into a home server to check up on news, instead of having to sync the feeds across multiple devices, would be absolutely lovely.
