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.

On Thunderbird for example, there's no way to aggregate feeds from different places, into just one common view. I'm looking for aggregating all feeds from different places into a common view, where I can globally just keep what I want to read from everywhere and remove what I'm not interested on.

Notice just the view needs to be joint, and one can remove stuff from the joint view, but in reality one would be removing stuff from each feeds provider.

Not sure if such client is available for gnu+linux, and hopefully a GTK one.

Edit: Trying newsflash. At the beginning I didn't want to try webkitgtk based packages, since it was supposed to be insecure, however stock packages are depending on it, so I guess there's no much trouble now a days. webkit2gtk was the safe bet that I remember. So considering this query as solved for now, :) Many thanks to all.

Edit 2: On TB I can remove feeds I don't want to keep, which rss readers can do that? On newsflash at least I don't see a way to remove stuff. So for sure that'll consume a lot of space depending on the amount of articles. Or am I missing something?

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
