The fdroid repos can get kinda outdated. But in my personal experience, the app has shown no issues. I guess being compliant with the tirrent protocols is all that matters for it to work.

There isnt much to say about how to use it. Just install the app, search for a torrent you want to download (be it via a magnet link, or a .torrent file) and thats it.

Just install the libretorrent and you’re good to go, its pretty easy and straight foward. https://www.f-droid.org/packages/org.proninyaroslav.libretorrent/

I use Linux for about 2 years

Up until February this year, I was still using a 14 year old DDR2 desktop. Windows 10 started to get quite slow and had some annoying crashes (mainly the fault of my goofy old hardware, of course)

I learned about Linux as an alternative through a Linux Tech Tips video about gaming on Linux, and Valve’s announcement of the Steam Deck, I was also interested in FOSS apps as alternative to proprietary ones.

Decided to try Linux Mint. With no prior experience with Linux, lack of luck finding good tutorials, and some weird thing happening with my games not launching, I had a very rough start.

But thanks to Mint, suddenly my DDR2 desktop got a lot smoother :D also, all of my drivers worked out of the box, and I got very surprised with Linux’s plug-and-play hardware capabilities.

So I decided to learn how to use it, tinkered alot with my system, and broken it alot! It was kind of frustrating, but fun at same time.

And without noticing, I had already learned lots about Linux from a more technical, and then, philosophical point of view.

Now I’m a great fan of Linux and FOSS, and have been helping friends to move to it by giving support with issues I had in the past.

Oh, I didn’t mean to oppose your post or anything! My bad 😅, Just tried to point some things out.

Yeah, every experience is valid! I was just stating my opinion about the general state of Linux installers, but the experience varies alot from person to person. Glad you made it to Linux tho 😄

I think they should improve their website download page, and have an easier installer before I can recommend it as a first distro to someone. But that’s just my opinion. Some people even get Arch as their first distro, so…

It’s the flathub repo, which is also listed on their official website! But your link is valid too

Alternatively, some folks can also try Freetube for an ad free youtube experience as a desktop app

That’s why I only use Newpipe

Too many choices is better than too few choices IMO
