I am looking for a YouTube alternative client, where I can ideally import my subscriptions, and possible even like or comment on a Linux computer. Does such a thing exist?

Liking and commenting isn't possible through any client to my knowledge. Freetube is a nice frontend app available on linux. Follow existing tutorials for how to export subs from YT then import your subs in the app.

+1 for Freetube it's amazing!

in general, an application can allow you to log in to do things like like and comment, but most applications choose to instead. Comments might be a bit more tricky, but applications like smart tube next support liking and disliking.

It could also be possible to do what grayjay does, and simply open a webview for the video in question
