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.

I use YouTube links which gives you direct links to the media. It's a userscript so you'll need the ability to run those. Also it doesn't seem to play nicely with premium, but that's easily worked around by letting it run in incognito tabs. Even with the quirks it's way better than any middleman download site.
I also have yt-dlp which is also awesome, but works differently. I do use both depending on what I'm trying to accomplish.. for a single audio or video file YouTube Links is more convenient, for anything more than that yt-dlp is the way to go.
