I want to help by saving videos before they are taken down, but I am tech challenged and on top of that, have linux. I tried using youtube dl but got a message that it wouldn't work. Someone said I'd need python, tried to download that, but there was so much stuff I didn't understand. It's not like a regular download. If you know how to help me, please do. Can dm me if you prefer. Thanks.

based on your name I'm going to assume you're using the gnome window manager? the command line would be available with gnome terminal.

Lol, thanks pede. But no. Never even heard of it. Just thought it was a funny play on words. I tried what KekistanRanger advised but that didn't work, so I guess I'll just have to leave the downloading to you other pedes. Thanks anyway.
