WEBM, is it the default option of yt-dlp downloads?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

thanks Kyle.

I like your philosophy. I am one of those who has no interest in gaining 
the user-power-experience. I just want to be an average Linux user.

I am a college professor and have no time to spend long hours reading 
manuals teaching me the nitty gritty of how to write a suphisticated 
script. When I read these manuals I can't understand most of what I read 
anyway. That is because I have no previous experience with programming 
or with Linux in particular.

What I care about is just a smooth experience of having my work done in 
a relatively safe digital environment. So far I can use Linux for email, 
for internet browsing, for sharing files via dropbox and quickly 
replying to my whatsapp via whatsapp web.

I believe that with time I will be able to develop more skills, learning 
from those who have more experience in using the Linux platform.

Cheers,

Ibrahim
