Linux YouTubers I'm Watching In 2024

[@BreadOnPenguins]

"Luke Smith, in female form" - I think this is becoming a meme, but honestly, it's a high compliment :^) Thank you so much for the shoutout, DT! I've watched your content for years, so it's incredible to see my channel featured in one of your vids. Just learned about some other awesome channels from this vid, as well. Thanks again!

[@thefearlessgeek]

You've got good videos! I liked Luke Smith's Linux content but I felt he got a bit off the rails with some of his other content before he completely disappeared. Just my opinion though. Anyway, keep up the great Linux content.

[@DistroTube]

Thanks! Keep doing what you're doing! :D

[@donaldwilliams6821]

I agree you make great content

[@esra_erimez]

I just unsubbed to this channel due to the non linux lectures, I don't need to told how to live my life

[@thefearlessgeek]

@@donaldwilliams6821 I get it. I don't find DistroTube as off the rails as Luke Smith became, IMO. But yeah, I get it. Yet it's his right to post non-Linux stuff if he wants to. And you can choose to unsubscribed. I've done that to some KZbinrs I used to like.

[@linuxnext]

Thank you for the shout-out! i rlly enjoy using linux everyday so why not show everybody about it :)

[@Nullarino]

[@DistroTube]

Keep up the great work!

[@TheGoldenPro]

Love your channel. 🧡 I'm also a small Linux youtuber, I'm "Goldy" (searching up "Goldy linux" usually helps) this is just my watch account. 😎

[@xgui4-studios]

i am subcribe to yout to !

[@swagmuffin9000]

Dude, just subbed about week before this video came out

[@LinuxRenaissance]

Thank you very much, DT, I appreciate it! I subbed to all but one.

[@DistroTube]

Sure thing. Keep up the great work! :D

[@ThePressurizer]

Is your choice of distro Fedora, maybe? Okay, I'll show myself out.

[@LinuxRenaissance]

@@ThePressurizer I'm gonna meet you outside just to say Debian for the most part, but I switched to Arch a couple of months ago and I am pretty happy with it so far.

[@ThePressurizer]

@@LinuxRenaissance Ah, Arch btw, of course. It’s weird, in more than 20 years of Linux, I’ve actually never tried Arch.

[@LinuxRenaissance]

@@ThePressurizer I was always on a stable distro and recently I wanted to try something non-typical for me. So that's how it went down.

[@ProfessorLinux]

Thank you! Really appreciate the visibility 🙂❤️ I just subbed.

[@DistroTube]

You're welcome. Keep up the amazing work!

[@texaslinux]

I found Bread on Penguins recently, love her content.

[@TheLinuxWayToday]

I can't say how much is appreciated! Thanks to people like you Linux will eventually be the #1 OS on the planet! \m/

[@DistroTube]

Awesome work. Keep doing what you're doing! :D

[@googIesux]

Alright, I'm gonna be that guy and point out that what you guys are referring to as "Linux," is in fact, PC/Linux, or as I have recently recently taken to calling it, PC plus Linux (but not really), by which I mean any of the minority market of consumer computing devices that are not aleady dominated by operating systems built upon the Linux kernel. What I'm getting at is that, technically-speaking, almost all electronic device users run a modified version of the #1 OS "Linux" kernel every day, without realizing it. Not that you asked. BTW, I use Arch + xanmod

[@googIesux]

Also, subbed

[@TheLinuxWayToday]

@@googIesux Thanks man! : D - yes, Linux has grown and I am preparing a video where I will show in fact how 2 billion people are actually using Linux in fact.

[@TheLinuxWayToday]

@@DistroTube Hey, I apologize for asking, but I noticed something because I am new to KZbin content making. I had close to 1100 users after you made a shout out. Today I have only half of the subs, basically lost half in just one day. Is this normal? Thank you.

[@LinuxCreativeProject]

I appreciate the mention! Your channel has been a fantastic resource. Love your channel and your audience. I subbed to the other channels as well.

[@DistroTube]

You bet! You're making some killer content.

[@esra_erimez]

This is a great channel I've been subbed for a while

[@markfeathers]

I think I started seeing his videos almost immediately after it started up. My favorite thing is how he almost immediately sidestepped GIMP. It's a powerful app but the UI is so f'ing terrible. I'm thankful that it exists though. I remember using the statically compiled against Motif versions back before GTK was even a thought.

[@linuxhub70]

Thank you for the shout out. Really appreciate it. Your channel is one of the original linux channels i subbed to a few years ago. A nice way to pay it forward. Time to sub the rest.

[@gnuunixchad]

I started a Chinese Linux channel recently too, cuz the information wants to be free!

[@nikunjkhangwal]

I don't know Chinese but that's pretty osm

[@gnuunixchad]

Thank you, you are awesome too!

[@fourHuman444]

Looks dope, I checked it out. I don't understand Chinese, but had some experience of studying the script, always satisfying to guess some random characters. Hopin that Chinese viewers are into Linux too

[@gnuunixchad]

@@fourHuman444 Appreciated!

[@Liyiqi-e6i]

Look who we got! Your video about Linux security is fantastic, Love from 瓷器！

[@robfahey7363]

Always glad to see someone pay it forward.

[@AshesWake-sf7uw]

Bread on Penguins is my favourite! ❤

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Sweet of you to say :)

[@Amos_Huclkeberry]

You and Switched to Linux are 2 of my favorites.

[@GadgeteerZA]

Very good of you to pay it forward - very community positive!

[@jmacdono]

I just discovered Bread on Penguins this past week. She's got a great channel. I subscribed to it.

[@randomdude3620]

Thanks for this. On my way to some of the channels you mentioned.

[@tux1968]

Subscribed to all of them. Thanks!

[@andrewreynolds1217]

Nice list, thanks for sharing.

[@dabrams84]

This is a smart way to make people interact and help each other.

[@injuneer7942]

Fantastic video ..... always love referals and I have subscribed to most of them just to check them out. Once again, great subject and great job!!!

[@wushulucas]

Loved this video. Great content.

[@tolga.yenici]

Great. Thank you. I'm following 'em all now.👌

[@TheLinuxITGuy]

Congrats to all my fellow sudo-ers. Thanks for doing this DT.

[@davidjeter5067]

Hey DT, thank you for all you have taught me about Linux. I went to each of those channels and have subscribed to them as I trust your content so if you say they are good, then I am definitely interested in checking them out.

[@existentialbaby]

gonna binge watch them all

[@Insane430]

DT I always have a special feeling when I'm watching your channel. Thanks for you.

[@PopsSinging]

The problem I have, is that I subscribe to so many channels I could never consume all the content that comes on my feed everyday. About once or twice a year I go through and wean out the subscriptions that I don't watch and then I ended up cluttering the list back up with new subscriptions...lol. I already have so many Linux content creators in my subscription list I don't have room for more.

[@miou-miou-]

@scottrill320 almost like linux youtubers are trying to emulate the amount of linux distros.

[@minecraftpufferfish9066]

The Luke Smith trinity: Luke Smith (the original), black Luke Smith (Mental Outlaw), and female Luke Smith (Bread on Penguins)

[@Mrneilthompsonuk]

cheers DT subbed them all

[@JesseDavis]

Thanks for bringing attention to other creators in the space - Looks like I am subscribed to everyone except Linux Renaissance and Linux Creative Project

[@juancarlosrodriguez5022]

Thanks a lot. I jist subscribed to all these channels. G bless.

[@comosaycomosah]

already followed a ton of these there is some real good ones out there

[@kenshin7440]

Job done thx DT

[@mittkonto7840]

Thank you, never heard of them before but i'll give them alI try. I subbed them all.

[@aytviewer2421]

OLD TECH BLOKE -- I discovered him through one of DT's past videos. Sadly he past away a couple of years after his channel started growing. I joined when he had less than 100 subs, and watched him break 1K within a couple months, large thanks to a mention by DT on one of these lists. Thanks DT for giving small channels some attention, and again my condolences to Old Tech Bloke's family when he past a couple years ago.

[@ShaunakHub]

He was an awesome guy with some great content on slackware. Making it way less scary for amateurs like me....

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

Indeed, OTB will be missed by the community. RIP.

[@folksurvival]

He was great.

[@TroubledTrooper]

Yes, I remember him. He was one of the few making regular Slackware content on KZbin, dearly missed ☹

[@johanb.7869]

He passed away? Didn't know that.

[@davefinnegan868]

DT love your content. I have learned so much from your channel.

[@LinuxIsForAll]

I will also add two Linux KZbinrs, Myself and PenguinByte!

[@Re5pecTree]

Agree about @PenguinByte and Subed to you as well. :)

[@TheDesertBlizzard]

A1rM4x is another channel that covers mostly gaming on Linux. Might take some time to adjust to the thick French accent, but is often entertaining and frequently informative, if gaming as at all an interest.

[@2amv685]

The french Aaron Paul

[@MarioinRmd]

I typically watch that Nick fellow from France, the Aussie guy, the big dude Matt, Chris Titus and some guy named DT : ) Always looking for good new content, though! TY!

[@Bob-b4j1b]

Thank you DT. Just the thing i needed to somewhat cure my endless hunger for Linux content ❤❤❤

[@und3rpr]

That is a very nice thing to do. Congratulations.

[@mickeyd306]

Thanks, I wanted some more linux channels to watch.

[@alone-vf4vy]

Thanks!!

[@sighted_]

you're missing Andrea Borman

[@johnbowles4754]

I only recently found her channel and she is brilliant and a fantastic mentor.

[@esra_erimez]

Agree

[@X91X-km7hp]

And gotbletu

[@JE0RB]

The algorithm does a good job of showing me a variety of Linux creators but I still prefer human curation. Thanks for these recommendations!

[@swagmuffin9000]

Was subbed to bread and next before watching, I'll check out the others

[@LilaHikes]

2:12 Walks around in the woods... talking to herself and uses Linux??? Sounds like an instant sub for me :-)

[@juancarlosrodriguez5022]

Jajaj even though, I subscribed to her channel.

[@Ralphunreal]

There are several good linux youtubers, great community.

[@JakeLinux]

Someday i will make the list.

[@TroubledTrooper]

Its interesting how 7 years is old for Linux on KZbin, which is true! But considering I hear Linux users say they started Linux decades ago all the time, you'd think there would be some from like 2006 still knocking about but no. I think content creation for Linux is quite new.

[@TroubledTrooper]

By content I am excluding blogs and newsletters of course. Those have existed for decades.

[@pimactv9778]

Maybe not small, but i love Gotbletu, he has been around for ever is majority command line and minimal desktop, but he has some awesome videos :). He reviews apps and has a huge lost of custom aliases commands and configs. He doesn't have Linux in his name, but everything he does is Linux. He has what feels like hundreds of videos. It's mostly screenrecordings and walkthroughs. Not much about distros or hardware, he is great for scoping out new apps or discovering old ones, and how to streamline yourworkflow with in them.

[@l4rzzz]

I'm really missing NixiePixel from back in the days :( Cool that you shoutout these creators!

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

I used to try to watch her videos occasionally but she gave me the impression it was more about her looking pretty in front of the camera than the actual quality of the content. And that's not just because she's female either, I find Chris Titus' stuff equally unwatchable for similar reasons, especially when he changes his opinion on Windows and Linux "at a whim" and to just shill for views.

[@packetcreeper]

Checking these channels out now...

[@osamaomer2073]

You make me love Linux ❤ thanks

[@sahilkhatri4182]

Subbed em all 😊

[@shawn284]

Bread on Penguins is great, I highly recommend her channel!

[@oglothenerd]

I started doing a thing in my Discord server where I shout out Linux creators I find that have less subs than me! :D

[@alpacamale2909]

doing god's work DT

[@flame.sniper]

You didn't mention Andrea Borman, an old lady that does a ton of Linux videos!

[@Dutch1954]

I gotta say, if you were my son, I'd be very proud of the spirit you display. Good video.

[@jonathangonzaga95]

DioLinux channel also makes an amazing content, in brazilian Portuguese.

[@pringlington]

Bread on penguins is fire

[@MikeJ4789]

We all follow DT for his sweet haircut. Salute sir!

[@oglothenerd]

I hope I get in the next one. :)

[@gnulectures]

You got this bro

[@oglothenerd]

@gnulectures Thanks! :D

[@oglothenerd]

@gnulectures I just found out I've been subscribed to you! :D

[@GoolagThemTube]

Linux Renaissance seem to be all in on Red Hat Enterprise. 👌

[@LinuxRenaissance]

😂🫶🏻

[@oldcmputer]

Can you possibly do an updated desktop and terminal visualization tour on your Arch Linux workstation? I know you previously did but would be nice to see a fresh video showing your panel UI tools and preferred setup? Love your content and huge fan from Chicago 🌭

[@cebuaquaphonicsph6669]

Present ✋😎👍 From windows - Linux ubuntu but my problem is I can't use photoshop

[@ssplayer]

NixiePixel was one of the first Linux channels I watched. I suspect she may have been the first female Linux KZbinr. She stopped being a regular after her health problems started.

[@folksurvival]

What health problems?

[@GoolagThemTube]

LinuxNext seem to be a really nice guy. I like his channel. 👍

[@linuxnext]

Thank you :)

[@GoolagThemTube]

@@linuxnext Keep up the good work. 👍

[@edwaoman2829]

Linux on the server is the foundation of Linux on the desktop ❤️

luke smith in female form .... lol..

[@arhbaramov6296]

great 😃😃👍👍 as a community job, as a content, and as human 😁⛄😁⛄😁

[@samoylov1973]

Hey DT, there is one other youtuber that should be mentioned - Kris Occhipinti. He is just awesome, when he explains Bash scripting and CLI.

[@__hannibaalbarca__]

I use Linux 23 years ago with RedHat; and after one years i stop using it, due to my orientation to abstract Mathematics and complex analysis, and after Coronas Virus i want to do some simulation (visual ) about speed spread of Virus, but my idea to start from scratch, and here when start new journey toward C++ / C and Linux / and OpenGL

[@Tentri]

Thank you to all the channels that came here to thank distrotube, made it easier to find yall

[@mcborov_]

Hey DT, do you have a smart phone? What OS you run? LINEAGEOS?

[@anieziisandezzlas]

Linux is just the Kernel

[@JLajos]

Waiting for a KZbin channel named, "The Linux Colonel".

[@emem666]

DT mainly choose youtubers who are into Arch disease like him.

[@osamaomer2073]

DT Uses virtual box for watching KZbin

[@thatoneannoyingtornadosire8755]

would you happen to know of any youtubers for helping new linux users learn linux? i'm pretty new and i'm still struggling with where to start a bit. i do watch a good bit of your vids as well as some others but i often realize what's being said is well over my head sometimes.

[@gnulectures]

Imma recommend MashedLinux, he's a genuinely cool guy

[@thefearlessgeek]

I tried to find The Linux Way here on KZbin but he's not coming up.

[@thefearlessgeek]

I just looked at the video again and apparently it's all one word. Let's search again.

[@thefearlessgeek]

Found it

[@kychemclass5850]

It's usually a question of time :(

[@hassanawodi5888]

Haven’t seen a new Luke Smith vid in a while! Does he still post?

[@cybernit3]

I like to refer A1RM4X channel for Linux Gaming if you into that. Thanks for telling us about these other Linux channels.

[@noname-ck6ld]

More cool ladies in the space: CodeBeauty, LaurieWired, Veronica Explains. I have learned a lot from all of them. :)

[@keiganthetennessean1796]

[@mr.iot-tech278]

Nice video i`m trying to get my channel also up , have some interesting stuff not only linux like video coreboot tests , some iot boards , macos on amd , steemOS etc hope linux comunity to learn more for other channels !

This was a shoutout for smaller channels...

[@ProgrammingRainbow]

Wow i got no love. Ive help with DTOS bugs many times. I use the desktop, have 125 videos on installing linux to programming even in haskell. Ive even referenced this channel in some videos directly. 😢

They are all great but I would also include a1rm4x.

[@capi_nemoo]

[@richardbaker4974]

You can be an arch fan boy. But for people who aren’t computer hackers I will always stand behind Linux Mint. Arch community is composed of rude people!!
