Linux YouTubers I'm Watching In 2024

[@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.

[@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!

[@MichaelWilliams-lr4mb]

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

[@MichaelWilliams-lr4mb]

@@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@minecraftpufferfish9066]

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

[@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.

[@AshesWake-sf7uw]

Bread on Penguins is my favourite! ❤

[@BreadOnPenguins]

Sweet of you to say :)

[@robfahey7363]

Always glad to see someone pay it forward.

[@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

[@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！

[@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!

[@Amos_Huclkeberry]

You and Switched to Linux are 2 of my favorites.

[@Mrneilthompsonuk]

cheers DT 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.

[@ArchLars]

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.

[@tolgayenici]

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

[@LinuxIsForAll]

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

[@kenshin7440]

Job done thx DT

[@dabrams84]

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

[@alone-vf4vy]

Thanks!!

[@andrewreynolds1217]

Nice list, thanks for sharing.

[@existentialbaby]

gonna binge watch them all

[@tux1968]

Subscribed to all of them. Thanks!

[@shawn284]

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

[@Insane430]

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

[@juancarlosrodriguez5022]

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

[@wushulucas]

Loved this video. Great content.

[@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!!!

[@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

[@randomdude3620]

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

[@mittkonto7840]

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

[@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.

[@scottrill320]

i agree too much options confuse us

[@miou-miou-]

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

[@scottrill320]

@@miou-miou- then they are doing good ... but still too much information is not really good

[@mickeyd306]

Thanks, I wanted some more linux channels to watch.

[@swagmuffin9000]

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

[@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!

[@packetcreeper]

Checking these channels out now...

[@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.

[@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.

[@und3rpr]

That is a very nice thing to do. Congratulations.

[@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.

[@Ralphunreal]

There are several good linux youtubers, great community.

[@GadgeteerZA]

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

[@ArchLars]

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.

[@ArchLars]

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

[@JakeLinux]

Someday i will make the list.

[@Bob-b4j1b]

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

[@sighted_]

[@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

[@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?

[@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
