On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?

I'm also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal

do you use a WSL? do u think it would be fine doing it in windows command line like terminal or powershell?

If you have more experience with Linux CLI over powershell, I'd go with that. There are a few options: WSL2, MSYS2, Cygwin.
