From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Normally I try to use apt for everything, but yt-dlp is an exception since when you want it, you probably do actually want the latest version. I think the only thing it depends on is python, so simple enough to get it from git one way or another.
PS: Now that I actually look at that page I linked to, I see there's a PPA repo you could use. I don't know who runs it or how up-to-date it is, but it's probably a better bet than what you were trying.
PPA shouldn’t be used on Debian.
