proprietary software will reach a level of efficiency such that it will be
impossible to revive freedom or democracy or human dignity. In my mind this is

Ok thanks. One other question though: if I back up the root partition into a
tar archive, will that preserve the file/folder ownerships and permissions?
Looks like a good plan.
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools if you do not want to
install the "gnome-disk-utility" package (although I do not think it would
trigger the installation of many dependencies, LXDE using GTK 3).
Also:
Is Gnome Videos the same as totem? I can't find any package with name close
to videos or gnome videos on my openSUSE but I have totem.
Thanks for the info!
My main concern is not to run JavaScript. Do you know if Gnome Videos use JS
internally?
FWIW the other day I read that youtube-dl *does* use JS... which makes me
hesitant to use it. Do you know any alternative to it which doesn't?
F1: I know. I just wanted to say that it is humanly impossible for a single
person to study millions of lines. Even for 100 people. Perhaps I should have
commented on a previous post of yours.

You could download a more recent kernel from jxself's repo.

Recent versions of GNOME Videos can search and play YouTube videos, as
well as Vimeo and perhaps a few other sites.
mps-youtube also searches YouTube, but it won't play videos on my
machine. Its UI is also not a shiny
