I've found peertube won't go full screen in game mode for some reason, so now I'm wondering if this will work. Not seeing sponsorblock or ~~adblocking~~ though which is a dealbreaker
Edit: it has adblocking, I missed that sentence somehow

According to the article this has a built in adblocker.
Just tried it on Ubuntu LTS (as a flatpak) and my first impression wasn't great.
The sign-in experience was nice with a QR code and verification code. But then the first thing on the video browse list was as ad, and the first video I played started with the same ad. There's no icon you can click to go fullscreen, but I have a wireless keyboard and eventually figured out F11 is a shortcut (F and Enter do nothing). But then about 3 minutes into the video, the whole app window went gray. Nothing clickable, just 100% gray. I was able to exit fullscreen and close out the app, but it was pretty obviously a Ui crash of some sort.
This was just the first impression so I'll keep it installed and see if it improves with updates. Or maybe try it on Deck or my Endeavor machine.
Is it available on Ubuntu?
It's distributed through flatpak, so yes, it's available on Ubuntu or any linux distro that supports flatpak.
It is focused on controller support, so it might not be ideal for an ubuntu desktop computer, but that just depends on your use case.
