If feasible, please add a compiled client for Linux to the releases section just like the existing options for macOS and Windows. This would make it easier to access the program rather than having to run it from source and install a bunch of Python dependencies, manage a virtual environment, etc.

@slannon97 Honestly, I agree.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've added a Linux build to our GitHub Actions release pipeline. As of v1.63.50, releases now include a BlindRSS-linux-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz alongside the Windows and macOS downloads — extract it and run the BlindRSS binary inside, no Python/venv setup required.

Note you'll still need VLC and ffmpeg installed via your distro's package manager (e.g. sudo apt-get install vlc ffmpeg), since those provide the media runtime. Give it a try and let me know if you hit any issues!
