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.

yt-dlp
It works with ffmpeg and you can choose the quality you want to download from Youtube. Also its nice if you want to record a livestream as its being broadcast. Its also not limited to just Youtube either, it seems to work on lots of sites.
amazing. Thank you!
hey, I am sorry, is there a gui for yt-dlp with all the options it has in the cli? I found it very confusing to read and understand the whole read.md
-x --audio-quality=0 --sponsorblock-mark CATS=all --sponsorblock-remove CATS=all
but, I want webm with best quality, so what should my command be?
yt-dlp -f bestaudio video_url
will download the highest quality audio format available. You don't want to reencode the audio, that will reduce the quality. On most videos, the best audio will be opus in a webm container.thank you!!
There are some. I’ve used this one and some other I couldn’t find right now
