Ship an RSS reader with a Bluefin news feed ootb

[castrojo]

The motd is great for sysadmins but we need something graphical, which I've always wanted to do but we never got around to it.

For GNOME I'd love to ship something modern and minimalist. We don't need a full blown old school style tree reader, we just want to show the ublue-news and announcement RSS feeds from discourse.

I'm currently posting the release notes in bluefin-news but perhaps we can adjust that since we'd want to ship the release feed from github directly.

^^ this one looks pretty good and is in GNOME Circles already.

And then let's add it to the topleft logomenu. I'm thinking adding horizontal line and then adding it as "News and Updates" or something similar.

And then someone with more KDE experience can recommend something for Aurora.

Also for Aurora, there is an official KDE RSS feed application called Akregator.

I think this should be implemented for Bazzite as well.

I actively use Newsflash on Bluefin and would highly recommend it! It's a great RSS reader, clean yet fully functional. Honestly, I preferred it over Akregator even when I was running Plasma on Kinoite. Very clean interface.
