youtube-dl -o - $1 | vlc -

Just another glorious linux day. 64mb ram usage and 10-15% cpu utilization per stream, on a celeron. Side by side shot.

youtube-dl and vlc both work perfectly fine on windows and os x too though

Windows and OS X probably won't work fine on his hardware, though.

a celeron is pretty standard as far as low end hardware goes. windows would probably work fine, and even os x might work with the right kernel

youtube-dl isn't as comfy though on windows unless you actively force the terminal into your day-to-day life.

it's not that comfy on linux either unless you actively force the terminal into your day-to-day life (or it gets forced on you because there isn't a gui for everything)

Using the terminal in day-to-day life in Linux isn't really forcing it.

if you want to use it. but if you want to use it nobody's stopping you from doing that on windows too
