From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OP will look for alternative sites quickly, if that's their main device.

Who said anything about video? That's it's own can of worms.

Peertube or whatever, maybe maximal in FHD. Maybe with mpv, that one supports yt-dlp and has extensive support for low-level adjustments. Also, there's slim native Youtube browsing clients.

Could you suggest a couple of those slim native youtube browsing clients ?

I'm currently sorting the AUR clients out, but a few in the official repos:

  • audiotube: KDE Client for YouTube Music
  • plasmatube: Kirigami YouTube video player based on QtMultimedia and youtube-dl
  • streamlink: a plugin-based streaming utility with support for various popular players
  • ytfzf: A POSIX script to find and watch youtube videos from the terminal

Edit: i've given up; there's around 300 clients / downloaders in the AUR
