I have finally been able to install it and have to say I am really impressed how well this works. Sure, you can not really 'fullscreen'? There are some glitches; margins. But mostly it just works. It is so much more efficient than starting up Waydroid... I am even considering trying this with some of my other go-to applications.

Note; FreeTube is also a good client. Though at three times the size due to Electron, I like NewPipe more. It feels way more snappy to use.

I see tons of glitches: cant load settings, loading a vid may work or not, and the gui gets glitchy regardless.

Pity, I love Newpipe on my phone.

Running it on Fedora. You? (Also use it in Bazzite from a Legion Go; touch input only) Graphics, like buttons are problematic (small, misplaced), but functional
