I'd like a small software on Linux, with a modern GUI that allows me to save certain important blog articles.

Wallabag is not interesting for me because it's too heavy (Docker)

Are you looking for a 1:1 alternative to pocket ?

I've heard good things about Readeck.

Linkace is similar but you'll have to wait a bit for their official instance

I found this while browsing after Pocket announced shutdown, but haven't used it. It's pitched as a Pocket alternative, has support for Pocket import and similar features, but I don't think there's a dedicated Linux app.

I personally use Linkora but it is a bookmark manager, doesn't have an in built reader. It has both appimage and deb packages and is available on other platforms as well.

Shiori is a Pocket clone but I haven't used it

Raindrop

Almost all Pocket alternatives need self hosting. I was using Joplin web clipper and now I just use Linkora.

There's also Linkwarden.

Chaski is mostly an RSS reader but it can find feeds for websites as said on it's page and dowload articles.

TLDR - If you just want to save/bookmark articles, give Linkora a try. Or you could use the web clipper of Joplin.
