I’m on Linux mint, and I’ve been wanting to reorganize and clean out my online footprint for a while now, starting with Youtube. I realized that a very useful way to do this would be by compartmentalizing my youtube activity. This would have the additional benefit of each “compartment” having a very specific algorithmic “identity” on YT’s backend, so i’d likely only get recommendations directly related to the niche of the channel, both reducing distractions and increasing gems being recommended.

So, I need a YT client with the following features:

  1. runs on Mint
  2. Convenient as a daily-driver
  3. easy and safe to switch between different accounts
  4. preferably FOSS
  5. if it had a mobile version, that’d be great. But I’m not naive enough to believe that such a convenient thing would ever happen.

I’d love to hear from you!

    The only Desktop native YouTube client I know is PlasmaTube (I think it’s made for Plasma Mobile), which uses Invidious backends, might not be what you’re looking for.
