Just asking because there are a lot of youtube applications and I don’t know which has good touchscreen support, FreeTube doesn’t (I use it on desktop), any electron based ones probably don’t too.
I use a tablet (Cachyos with gnome), so no keyboard or mouse, and I don’t care if it’s flatpak, appimage, native package, etc.
If there isn’t anything, I might use some frontend on librewolf.
Thanks!
Edit: FreeTube started working after I closed it and opened again, so I’m going to use it hahaha, sorry for the post.
mpv with yt-dlp i guess. If the default UI isn’t touchscreeny enough, there’s also uosc.
Mpv uses too much battery, about video players I use the old gnome videos.
Android apps run via Waydroid?
Now there’s Android Translation Layer (ATL).
Newpipe (one of the best youtube client for android) is available on flathub:

Grayjay, available from F-droid and on desktop.
If you hate FUTO, you don’t have to give them money.
There’s an unofficial desktop version of Newpipe now it seems:

I’ve not tried desktop but I do use it on Android. Taps to the left\right advance video in multiples of 10s. Dragging vertically on left/right adjusts volume and brightness. It’s a pretty decent touch interface I’d say.
Edit: importing subscriptions don’t work, so yeah :/
Oh, cool! I’m using PipePipe on android, I’m going to check the Newpipe flatpak!
