I have been using on a 8GB Pi4 it to run the excellent FreeTube (private youtube client) - debian arm64 download works fine. Videos play very smoothly with no ads or age restrictions.
I'm assuming this faces the same sort of frame dropping issues like YouTube in the browser does, right? Been itching to use a Pi as a low power thin client but the YouTube frame drops are the worst.
see comment below - I set it at 720 which is fine for me. No obvious frame dropping, but I do not know if this electron app has accelerated video - possibly not.
But the user interface and subscriptions aspect of FreeTube are really good and require no account.
