I do this with older Kindles that I do not sign into. It works great and inexpensive.

I use the desktop FreeTube app and watching YouTube works smoothly. On mobile, I use invidious via a browser or Safari in iOS with 1Blocker and NewPipe on Android.

I’m using FreeTube and NewPipe to view now. Yewt.ube is working on iOS devices in Safari with 1Blocker. Firefox and uBO is my last option if I happen to click a link that opens automatically.

I’ve always worked for smaller private companies because my partner always got screwed working at bigger corporations.

Good. Now let’s stop talking about this man daily.

I use Fedora on my T470 with no issues. It might just be Arch. Have you tried other distros? I wish there was a ThinkPad community here.

I also use Fedora on a 2008 Mac Pro with no issues. I’m really surprised how good it is because I’ve been using Linux since the 90s and never had it just run smoothly on my older hardware.

I use FreeTube on desktop and NewPipe on mobile. I’m still searching for a solution to the AppleTV.

Another vote for Fedora. I run it on a 2008 Mac Pro daily just fine. Good luck.

Maybe that new application Ticketbooth with TMDB integration and a Trakt like connection would work. I would love that.
