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 wish my own alternative would get similar praises, because it was there when YouTube-dl wasn’t. I’m really bad at marketing, it seems.
294 Github stars, I guess your marketing is fine
Dont give up on it! Its very feasible that yt starts attacking yt-dlp. Invidious is already obfuscated. The more alternatives the better.
Very informative
Contributions which improve the documentation are appreciated.
Some love to you too
{PRAISES!}
Thanks!
I make a point of always being on the lookout for different versions or offerings exactly because its so debillitating to me when I lose the use of a tool I rely on. Keep on fighting the good fight. I remember how much it sucked when I ProTube stopped working and Ivory stopped working, those were both bad times for me
It seem to be really interesting! I will give it a try.
Feedback and patches welcome!
