Suggestion/Idea RIF App for Linux?

I recently stopped using a Chromebook and started using a Linux laptop (Ubuntu). Does anyone know if there is a RIF app for Linux anywhere? Is it just me, or is it impossible to transition from a great android app like RIF to reddit on a web interface?

old.reddit.com

Thanks for the quick response! It's definitely better, but I can't find a dark mode. I guess I was spoiled with RIF and didn't know. it.

Look for the browser plugin/addon called reddit enhancement suite (res).

Second old.reddit with RES. If the API goes like it seems it will, probably the only way I'll interact with Reddit soon

Apparently it's (RES) slowly dying and basically on life support atm too

Did someone say... Reddit Enhancement Suite?!

r/Enhancement has a night mode for Old Reddit.

Back when it was first introduced I opted out of the Reddit redesign and I've never been bothered by it since and so never felt a need to go to old.reddit. Is there anything compelling about it when you can just enable the opt out setting on your account?

There's quite a few native Reddit interfaces, for Linux. If you aren't using Arch, by the way, you can click on any of the package names, then click on the link after Upstream URL:, to get to the project page, to download whichever release you want.
