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.

Speaking of VeronicaExplains: How VeronicaExplains Records Videos, ft. VeronicaExplains (not the best sound quality.)
Her videos are definitely solid, and she seems knowledgeable. HOWEVER, she 100% consumed the Technology Connection guy's personality and mannerisms Kirby style.

Andrea Borman is interesting…

Asahi Lina (vtuber) does Livestreams with Linux GPU driver development: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwkfNQzKwICfPKs6V0ZUFZQ
You can also find her in the fediverse: https://vt.social/@lina
Isn't that marcan? There might not be much new content, since he quit the Asahi Linux project.
Marcan and Lina are listed separately on the about page. https://asahilinux.org/about/
There's a theory that they're the same person. I'm not sure how reputable it is, I follow them both, but haven't seen any videos of them.
It certainly is a bit funny how Asahi Lina chose not to take a leadership position and she hasn't steamed dev work in a month...
I don't know.
What is vt .social?
VT Social is a fediverse instance for VTubers run by VTubers. Our goal is to provide a space for VTubers and VTuber-adjacent content creators, so we can connect with each other and have a place for fans to discover our content.
What is a VTuber? Is that some form of peertube instance?
VTubers are people who use avatars instead of being on camera. Typically the avatar is lip synced to their voice.
Oohh... First time hearing about this thing
While LaurieWired isn't a linux youtuber she does use it here and there, and her content is in general very interesting reverse engineering stuff. And I like the Serial Experiments Lain theming she uses, complete with Copland OS in this video, but also other old late 90s early 00s OS'es.
Jill from Destination Linux has already been mentioned, and then the only other linux woman youtuber (edit: I know of) is probably Wendy from Linux Out Loud..
Veronica explains has cool content
Cyb3rMaddy does more cyber security content, but she has a fair bit of Linux content too, same with LaurieWired.
VeronicaExplains is my favorite for pure Linux content.
Jill on Destination Linux
Jill is such an awesome person and content creator.
She's an absolute darling, and super smart and knowledgeable.
Tracketpacer is a network engineer
Are trans women ok?
I know what you mean, but I immediately heard it different. It's something we should be asking daily, just to make sure they have what they need. Are trans women okay? Are trans men okay? What do you need? I have a sympathetic ear and bourbon; how can I help?
Yes I love trans women
Freya Holmér is great.
She is absolutely great, but she doesn't talk about Linux, does she ?
She’s Linux-adjacent :P
Fair
This is so real thank you!
