Yeah, Fedora is a really sane and stable distro in my experience. It supports almost everything that can be supported, I have never had to hunt down fixes for malfunctioning hardware.

Whenever I have to install linux somewhere, it’s either Fedora or Debian depending on how often I want to open the machine. I’m already used to both the distros and their package managers, and both always “just work” for my purposes.

PipePipe works perfectly for me with a VPN. FreeTube also works, but I have to change the VPN server once in a while.

If all else fails, yt-dlp.

i3 can also drag and drop to tile, iirc.
