What is Grayjay?

Grayjay is a cutting-edge app that serves as a video player and source aggregator. It allows you to stream and organize videos from various sources, providing a unified platform for your entertainment needs.

It's mostly used as a YouTube frontend^. However, it is now launching as a desktop app for Linux, Mac and Windows.

I am linux noob, they provided a .zip file for linux. Do I need to use the command line to install it?

Thanks. I'm running PopOS Cosmic Alpha and it doesn't like the executable, and since its in alpha there's features missing in this DE that would allow me (linux noob) to easily install it. I'll try installing Grayjay again when my OS / DE is in beta or something.

Pro tip from one Linux noob to another, chatgpt allowed me to take the leap from not understanding Linux well enough to make it work on my own to making it work and doing a few advanced things.

Chatgpt has pretty decent usefulness even without buying the subscription nowdays if you don't want to do that, so glad I did this!

Thank you, that helped. I used perplexity and double checked the sources (so I don't end up running hallucinatory code).

I was able to get it running
