    sudo snap install utube then click on link while waiting for it to install

    Edit: I like the UI, it is clean and seems responsive. The select viedo/audio quality step as a separate window was an interesting choice, I guess I am used to the New Pipe UI. The app appears to be an evaluation version and one would need to purchase a license to continue using longer than 15 days. It was a little surprising as that was not mentioned on the snapcraft page.

      Are there flatpak or distro-specific native versions? Snap isn’t the best way to install software on non-Ubuntu distros.

        snap works on all major distros. flatpak and snap serves equally, i prefer snaps due to their small size and update mechanism. and robust and simple CLI snap tool provide. packaging tool called snapcraft is also very powerful. their autobuild CI/CD is also better than any other option available.

        I tried to look, but the snapcraft developer site points to a github account. I don’t see utube in the repository lists. Which may make sense if he’s trying to license it.

        FWIW, snap worked on Fedora 31 for me.

    Freetube is another one. It’s very simple to use and to import subscriptions. It uses Electron.
