I'm using linux mint without problems except the yt-dlp app in the package manager repository is old and doesn't work when I use it. The yt-dlp devs said I need a newer version and to install it myself, except I can't find a straight answer as to how to do that.

I tried using pip and tried apt but neither works because the path is all wrong.

The linux mint forum website is a nightmare for newbs.

Thanks

I wish I could help you, I too run Mint.

Every time I try to do anything at all it is just a stumble fest of fiddle fucking around to try to get it done.

That's the true Linux experience.
