That makes sense.
It has some font size controls in Settings: Configure Akregator: Appearance: Font Size. I think these sliders apply to the article bodies.
It uses built-in style sheets for the size of other text, like headings, so changing that probably requires the program to be recompiled. In case you have those skills and want to make those changes, have a look in this file: src/formatter/html/style.css
What was the trouble with Akregator? I think recent versions have dark mode, and older versions could be made dark with the right style sheets applied.
It’s not a perfect fit for me, but it works well enough that I stopped hunting for something better.

Unfortunately, some misguided (or possibly malicious) people collect email forwarding domains like these and publish them in lists dishonestly advertised as spam or disposable address lists. An unfortunate number of service developers have taken to using these lists, leading to the situation you’re in now.
The best suggestions I can offer:
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been keeping MX Linux in the back of my mind as a possible Debian alternative if I ever need one.
they aren’t letting me post this testimonial in the MX forum because it doesn’t accept anon-aliased emails for logins.
Ouch. That’s a red flag for me, since it forces people to expose themselves to spam and tracking if they want to participate in the community. Which alias service did they reject? Maybe there’s one that doesn’t trigger their rule?
I mean, pretty much every desktop environment that’s not Gnome or KDE has been dragging its feet.
To be fair, migrating a desktop environment from X11 to Wayland is a lot of work, Wayland still hasn’t reached feature parity, and most desktop environments are maintained by very few people with scant resources. It’s no surprise that the big ones are ahead of the others.
| Category | Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | Windows 11 |
|---|---|---|
| Processor (CPU) | Dual-core 2 GHz or faster processor | 1 GHz or faster, 2+ cores |
| Memory (RAM) | 6 GB minimum | 4 GB minimum |
| Storage | 25 GB free disk space | 64 GB or larger storage device |
| Architecture | 64-bit only | 64-bit only |
| Security Hardware | No TPM requirement | TPM 2.0 required |
That laughably understates the RAM required for Windows to be useful.
the Linux ecosystem that’s currently driving away developers in droves with fragmentation to consider that.
I am very skeptical of this. Exactly which developers are being driven away “in droves” because of packaging system differences? If you want to make a case for that assertion, you’re going to have to identify them, so they can be counted.
If it turns out that there are many developers who think like this, someone ought to let them know that they don’t have to package open-source software for every distro out there in order to reach all the major distros. Just package it for one, or even none, and let package maintainers do their thing.
Or, are you talking about proprietary software? That would be a different discussion.
This was posted here, and criticized, two months ago:
For the record, this is not the company that most people think of when they hear the name Motorola.
“It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hong Kong based Chinese technology giant Lenovo.”
Aye. Which reinforces what I wroot.

It’s somewhat regional. Lots of Americans pronounce the ou as in ouch, but lots of other folks pronounce it as in root (recognizing that route is its root word).
Magic Wormhole comes close. I don’t think it 100% peer-to-peer since there’s a coordination server, but that’s not so different to most P2P programs on the internet, which need something like a STUN or TURN server (or port mapping) to get around NAT.
Existing versions support both X11 and Wayland. Future versions will only support Wayland.

It’s pronounced just like gif, right?
No mention of Cantata, nor acknowledgement of Amarok’s recent revival. Whatever the reason might be for those omissions, this article doesn’t do a very good job of representing the state of linux music players.

Oddly enough, Notepad++ doesn’t really have a full featured native Linux alternative
Geany and Notepad++ are built on the same text editing component.
Not CLI. Terminal interface. (Sort of. It requires a terminal with sixel graphics support.)
SCTP has a major obstacle in that the internet is full of middleboxes that will never support it, because it’s not TCP or UDP. QUIC deliberately addresses that by being plain old UDP. Routers, firewalls, etc. don’t have to know anything about it in order to handle it.
