If you really only want youtube, then personally I would run it with raspian and just use a browser in fullscreen (less to maintain and update and full YT experience).
Not sure how you enter your searches and so on with just a mouse. I'd at least go for a keyboard like this if you're mostly on youtube.
Looks interesting! What is it called and where can I buy it?
