I am looking for a YouTube alternative client, where I can ideally import my subscriptions, and possible even like or comment on a Linux computer. Does such a thing exist?

    Liking and commenting isn’t possible through any client to my knowledge. Freetube is a nice frontend app available on linux. Follow existing tutorials for how to export subs from YT then import your subs in the app.

      in general, an application can allow you to log in to do things like like and comment, but most applications choose to instead. Comments might be a bit more tricky, but applications like smart tube next support liking and disliking.

      It could also be possible to do what grayjay does, and simply open a webview for the video in question
