QuiteRSS works well. It's for both Windows and Linux.

No affiliation, just a satisfied user.

I second that. If you have a lot of feeds, thousands, then QuiteRSS is one of the readers that will work reliably. It can be ram heavy with 1k+ feeds but it does the job.

In the article the author mentions one way to get RSS feeds from a youtube channel. This is how to get it from a youtube username,

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=USER_ID

The YouTube channel pages are also marked up properly so most tools will auto-discover the feed URL.

Do you know if it's possible to make QuiteRSS automatically download and cache the pages of new posts it finds? It seems to wait until I click on a post before starting to load it (quite slowly).

That's an option you can set. Go to options, F8, then "Feeds" and "Automatically update feeds on startup".

my problem with quiterss is that it takes ages to save data after close. idn why but if you loose power in between next time either you have to update all the feeds or the state which were you in last time.

waiting this to be fixed.

Original author here, QuiteRSS is also an excellent choice I should have mentioned!
