![]() ![]() Once I got past the old-new package problem, Minitube behaved well. It is really useful and practical for those keen on watching lots of Youtube, not seeing ads, and not having to sign in to Google to retain some level of history and personalization. Normally, I am opposed to software that merely gives you the same information like the origin only with a different presentation layer, however, this program pulls it off without being an abnoxious, in-your-face, over-the-top, yet-another-modern-wonder software purely designed to show everyone how amazing the developer is. Minitube is a really neat little application.

All of the Ubuntu-based distributions ship with an outdated version. This is what happened to me in Linux Mint. ![]() The chances are, most distros won’t have the latest version, and you might end up with an older edition that does not have all the good stuff, and worse, might come with a broken API. If you feel enthused, you might power on your distro’s software manager and try to install Minitube. I have never given it a proper standalone review. Minitube has been on my list on and off, and it’s featured in various distros across the years.
