    Who need GUI to watch youtube? You can watch them directly in terminal with mpv. Try it:

    mpv --vo=tct "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

      If you’re in a kernel VT (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7] without starting a graphical environment) MPV can also work in framebuffer mode (the default if you don’t specify a video output). It’ll show the video fullscreen at full resolution, bypassing the terminal characters.

      Who said terminal graphics had to look bad?

        I’m sure it has some uses in digital signage and whatnot, but holy cow it sounds like a dev just saying “hold my beer” one evening…

          84% of FOSS software is the result of either a dare, laziness, or spite.

        It uses the terminal as a display output instead of a separate window
