With one exception, all of my machines have 8GB or less, and I use a Firefox-based browser on desktop (Goigle deliberately slows down their services on non-Chrome browsers). Also, YouTube does have server-side tracking, and I need to be able to manage my subscriptions. I could use RSS, but I already have a reader installed for news and I don't want it getting cluttered.

uBlock and Mullvad is a great combo, and I am known to use the main site if both Invidious and yt-dlp aren't working; but the fact remains that Invidious is the inherently more private option.

What's happening on 1st November?

Well, I don't need recommendations for a start. I can see the appeal, but my subscription feed is good enough for me.

Also, YouTube is incredibly heavy in comparison, and I personally believe it's better to avoid tracking in the first place than to jump through hoops to cripple or block it, so Invidious and yt-dlp are the obvious solutions for me.

It gives you an estimate. I haven't used actual YouTube in a while, though. Just Invidious and yt-dlp.

I'd say use the website through Safari. Install AdGuard, SponsorBlock, and Vinegar, and it should be smooth sailing. Return YouTube Dislike is available as a UserScript.

Brave and DuckDuckGo also provide nice experiences with YouTube, but thry sadly do not have SponsorBlock or Return YouTube Dislike.

If you really need an app, though, give uYouPlus a try.

Old hardware. Maybe I could have run River, but in my experience this machine doesn't like Wayland.

Also, Xenocara is pretty good. More secure than Xorg.

Y'all are seriously still using the internet?

Oh, I see. My apologies. I couldn't quite understand what you were saying back there.

Yes, there are a few packages missing. Notably, Micro, Mullvad Browser, and Librewolf are not in the repo or ports tree. I am also having trouble building mle from source, and of course things like Steam will probably never be available.

However, there are plenty of packages that can be substitutes for a lot of Linux software.

Pardon?
