Summary: The Qt-based (i.e. decent KDE integration) Kristall is now available for download as an AppImage file; it's rich in terms of features and it supports gemini, http, https, gopher, finger etc.

EARLIER today I discovered that Kristall is now available as AppImage, just like Moonlander (GTK) and Lagrange (SDL2). They're other GUI-based browsers (other Gemini clients), but this one is Qt-based. So I turned on video and documented my experience installing it, then toying around with it. Earlier today in IRC we had a discussion about the need to convince GNU/Linux maintainers/packagers/developers to adopt these bits of software and make them easier to install. For a lot of people a Flatpak or AppImage file would likely suffice, but in the long run there are also downsides. Anyway, Felix "xq" Queißner's Web page/site is here. Nightly AppImage (x86_64) of Kristall is here. Maybe we'll demonstrate Kristall's usage more and more in the coming months. ⬆
