Mmmh, I'm using it on Android for some time now, installed as F-Droid app. Problem is, there is some friction regarding Countermeasures of YT and a new version adjusting to them. Often, I'm unable to use the alternative Client on Android for months until this is fixed. Will this be a problem on Linux too?

The problem is that F-Droid takes time to review new releases, when they're already available from other (direct) sources.

I have discovered Obtainium[1] not too long ago. Allows you to install and update apps from pretty much any source you want (e.g., directly from GitHub releases, as in NewPipe's case).

have a look at NewPipe's own fdroid repo: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/

Thanks! Shows the same version as the installed app from the main F-Droid repository - but this one works.
