In this guide/opinion video, I show explanations of multiple aspects of Linux to help people get into it, as well as I rant and rave over my experience testing 20 Linux Distros with arbitrary guidelines that are not very consistent, but hopefully funny, considering I worked on this for almost a year.

There's also freetube, which didn't require making an account last time I used it.

FreeTube is awesome. Need regular updates though, as every month or so YouTube seems to install a new way to break it (or Invidious, on which mostly it relies).

But there's also Piped, which I haven't tried yet, but I think it's disjoint to Invidious.
