Is there a gui interface for that anywhere? I really can’t be bothered to learn the command line just to download a couple vids here and there. Especially when freetube still works for now. But if the barrier to entry was a little lower, I’d start backing up faves.

The basic command is just yt-dlp 'www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ' tho.

That will get me a minimum 1080p vid with sound? Cuz looking at the instructions, it looks a lot more complicated.

I’ve actually never looked into yt-dlp’s default behaviour, as I’ve always been happy with the video and audio quality of the downloaded video. Probing the downloaded video from the command in my comment above yields for the video Video: vp9 (Profile 0) (vp09 / 0x39307076), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1920x1080, 3751 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 16k tbn (default), and for the audio Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 128 kb/s (default).
