I find it interesting that the term “newsreader” has changed to mean rss readers. Why not call them rss readers?

I have tried all of these rss news readers and none of them are good.

Liferea is the only one that comes close to being acceptable.

I finally moved all of my rss reading to google reader.

valid complaint, but don’t hold your breath for that to be corrected though. as i understand it, that distro now also runs “ubuntu kernel” :) and that brazen splash of nonsense was announced well before april 1.
also, i chuckle at the idea of ubuntu users running newsbeuter. don’t know why…
and, i use google reader for this stuff.
okay, make that *google reader for debian* :D
not a lot of thought goes into it. i just like to have them all in one place for access from different machines.

Feedly changed the way I use rss feeds, it’s web based so it works on any OS/browser and it’s AMAZING!

lists really don’t help a new user differentiate which product might need someones needs, you provide bones but no meat on them

articles like this are the kind that Google tries not to index because they’re really not very useful – they’re just there to fill space or build links – not to actually help readers

I need to agree with the first 2 posters
- Opera really is an amazingly good newsreader with virtual folders (the first possibly) and runs on all platforms not just Linux
- Are there really no distro’s out there than Ubuntu? Do these apps only run on Ubuntu? does highlighting Ubuntu in an article subject provide more users, more links or some kind of benefit from Canonical?

Are you telling me that these newsreaders won’t work on any OS other than Ubuntu, or are you telling me you have never heard of any Linux OS other than Ubuntu.

Theses News readers are not exclusive to Ubuntu, as you seems to be saying, they work on every other Linux based operating System, of which Ubuntu is but one.

Try doing a little research.
