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.

Open Akregator links in external web browser with reading view [Both flatpak] (sh.itjust.works)

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issue as I have. I know how I would approach this if Akregator was installed on the system rather than as a flatpak, I would just change the command run by the app when opening in an external browser to flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox about:reader?url=%u which just appends the about:reader portion to automatically open it as such. This command does work from my terminal but naturally does not work with Akregator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you can register a custom protocol and have your own script outside of flatpak that runs firefox. Then use an xdg-open command that prefixes the custom protocol.
