Linux QT apps/packages for YouTube alternatives? (lemmy.world)

With the recent false banning of tech channels, such as Enderman, I really want to find alternative platforms to watch tech content. I know a few YouTubers who have channels on Odysee, PeerTube, etc. However, I would rather watch them in a desktop app as opposed to a web browser.

Is there any desktop QT applications for Linux (ideally Arch BTW) that allow me to watch videos from a decentralized video platform, such as PeerTube? Ideally, it would use QT as I'm using KDE Plasma, but if they're aren't many, then GTK is fine too.

As a bonus: Something similar to FreeTube, which is what I use for YouTube. If it's something similar, it doesn't have to be QT as I know FreeTube isn't.

follow-up: i've now attempted a shot at peertube on plasmatube and it doesn't like that i have 2FA enabled for my account judging by the login errors.
