MiniTube isn't working for me on Linux Mint regardless of installing from the software center or the deb file, even though I installed libmpv1 from the package manager. Therefor, I'm using FreeTube instead. It works for the most part. I can subscribe to channels, view comments, download videos, enable dark mode, etc.
EDIT: I forgot a few other great features it has. It offers import/export functionality in FreeTube, NewPipe, or OPML formats. It can also connect with Tor.
However, one problem I have is it appears to only play HD at 720p and not 1080p. Another is it doesn't seem to be getting recognized by my screensaver. My screensaver starts up after 1 minute of playing a video on FreeTube as if there's no activity going on.

Free of annoying ads, and you can subscribe to channels without revealing your identity to Google.
Personally my go-to open-source alternative to other youtube-dl based open-source downloaders on Windows. I tried out Videoder and ClipGrab and others, but others too, but this app works great
Honestly, this is a great alternative but if you are a chrome os user or are looking for a web app I recommend you keep searching.
