I tried a lot of desktop NOSTR clients those days. I ran into various little problems quite often (problem with video, problem with picture, problem with reacting etc...), but eventually I found what works best for me.

First of all I have to give a big thanks towards @Alby, which I now use as a great temporary lightning wallet for both NOSTR and YouTube. At the same time, I love the fact that I have Alby as an extension in my browser and can freely browse the incredible number of NOSTR apps that have already been created without having to enter any codes anywhere (the codes have completely disappeared from my life, I don't even remember what they were called anymore, npub, nsec or something? Happy to leave them hidden in my keepassXC and never seeing them again) - a new level of user friendliness. Also thanks to this feature I could try almost all existing clients and at the same time discover things I didn't even know about (if you click on "apps" in Alby, you're in for a few hours ride across super NOSTR implementations with absolutely easy login everywhere :) ). If I use Alby, the internet is even more user friendly than the traditional social media sites (you log in everywhere with 2 magic clicks).

Regarding clients, I still have a policy of using many to check my posts, what looks like where, etc. In the end, though, I eventually found my home in noStrudel.ninja. For me, absolutely the best on desktop (especially since I tweaked the appearance to my taste in settings).

On mobile I use @Plebstr the most, but that may be purely out of habit, hard to say. I don't have Amethyst unfortunately, as I haven't managed to save up for a Google Pixel yet and need to use the old iPhone i found for free :).
