From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm using NewPipe daily and it doesn't seem broken at all?
You use a VPN?
I use a VPN with NewPipe, no problems. I'm using the NewPipe repo for the app
Ditto here. NewPipe + VPN works fine on my tablet I use as a YouTube machine. The only problems have been when YT messes with stuff to try to block them, and then NewPipe will have it fixed usually within a day. And that doesn't happen as often as people think.
Depends on what VPN server you use then I guess.
Newpipe breaks very often for me. Freetube breaks less
I'm the opposite. I want to like freetube more but it never works for me. I don't really have any problems with NewPipe.
