There's been a few GUI programs for it that come and go...
For example and those that would want or would check open source, here's one that is still going and seems to work fine: https://github.com/Bluegrams/Vividl
It depends what you want to use it for. If you want the cutting-edge software that may (at limited times) be somewhat unstable and granular control over everything, Arch is the distro for you (Manjaro is based on Arch and is much easier for beginners). If you want rock-solid stability and ease of use, with the trade-off of slightly older software, go with Debian. Ubuntu is the most commercialized distro, so the commercial support and larger user base are its strong points.
There is another major choice in selecting a Linux distro that many people don't talk about or even consider. Unlike Windows and MacOS, there are many "desktop environments" (DEs) available for Linux and most major distros support most of the major DEs. A default Ubuntu installation comes with Gnome, but there are other options such as KDE, XFCE, and Trinity, as well as plain window managers such as i3 and openbox. There are even ways to set up your linux OS to look and work exactly like Windows and Mac OS. For example, here is a screenshot of the Windows clone I have been working on for a while as a Windows XP replacement (not a big fan of the newer Windows OSes, especially not now with all the spying). You can install most DEs on most distros, but it will make it easier if you try most DEs out with live ISOs and select which DE best suits your preferences, and then select a distro with that DE as a default.
Yeah I just roll a debian-like on my service hosts these days cuz I'm lazy and I know debianish better than anything else. Haven't made a linux from scratch image or compiled a custom kernel in probably 10 or 15 years lol
Brother... download Ubuntu to a VM, install onion router and youtube-dl
youtube-dl <url to YT video>
MONEY
Youtube-dl also exists on Windows and MacOS.
Yes.
youtube-dlis the way. It also works on a few other websites, too: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md:)
Just a few
Love how half of them are porn websites.
Good thing it works at Ebaumsworld

Is Ubuntu the only Linux OS you recommend? I am going to start dual booting, one to game(Windows 10), other to browse the internet(Linux).
Debian is better.
gentoo, fight me /s

I recommend Manjaro. I’ve got it on my computer and it works great! Linux Mint is also good for beginners.
I'm over the age of 40 and I understood some of those words.
I'm also over 40 and Linux was way way harder when I was 16 than it is now...
I thought Ubuntu was the name of the drug that treated moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
I thought it was an African country. 🤔

I am over the age of 40 too Pede ; )
kids
I'm exactly 40, so I've already lived a third of my life.
install it on WSL
You don't even need WSL. They have Windows builds since years

Cygwin is total garbage... but yeah its handy
You don't need a Linux VM or TOR. youtube-dl works totally fine on Windows.
https://chocolatey.org/packages/youtube-dl (best way - adds it to your PATH so you don't need to use it in the same folder as the youtube-dlexe)
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/tag/2020.09.20 (manual, download .exe and use it)
