   The founder has expressed interest in developing a Windows and Linux version once they're out of beta and "once they can afford to hire 20 more engineers". Linux would probably come first: https://news.ycombinator.

    Considering NewPipe isn't available in the Play Store or at all on iOS, I'd imagine the number of people using it is small enough that Google doesn't care too much. Technology-wise, NewPipe builds off of the back of youtube-d

    An Android device running non-stock is a realistically better scenario. The big problem there is that the state of Android drivers means your hardware options are severely cut down (in practice, to a selection about the size of Apple's

    I highly recommend Interactive Linear Algebra for learning undergrad-level linear algebra mostly in the R^N. It has a PDF version available, but the real magic is in the interactive embedded 2D and 3D visualizations. There's a couple o
