I've mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I like the uniformity and simplicity of RSS, its vibe of good old times and the ability to avoid ad-driven ranking algorithms. On the other hand, many media/content sources offer le

What a blanket statement. Ubuntu is the same Gnome with three super popular extensions enabled, Yaru theme and some minor dconf tweaks. It even provides a simple gnome-session package in case you want an even more vanilla experience. The so
