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.

Linux Cast is...okay. The long form conversation format episodes are usually better than when its just Matt.
Brodie should definitely be at the top of this list. He works in tech, devotes himself emphatically to the subject of Linux, has some really amazing guests on his Tech Over Tea Podcast, and is imho THE Linux YouTuber atm.
Chris Titus Tech is more an honorable mention, as his channel focuses equally on Windows and Linux, but he has some amazing scripts for iptables configurations, and optimizing gaming on Linux, amongst other related topics.
The Linux Experiment is great for quick recap of Linux News. Learn Linux TV is great for Linux sysadmin tips.
I don't care for Distrotube, I won't go into details except to say I don't support Trump. Similar sentiments go for the Bible thumper, Luke Smith, whom doesn't really post much Linux content any more afaik. I will admit they did post useful bash scripts from time to time though.
Trafotin and Bugswriter are interesting channels in the Linux Youtube space that I think are worth checking out.
Overall though, if you're looking for quality Linux content on Youtube that keeps you informed and up to date. You can't go wrong with Brodie Robertson, The Linux Experiment, and Learn Linux TV. That's all you really need imho.
Yeah I kinda lost interest in Distrotube when he started randomly pulling out guns in videos..
Like, I don't care what your political views are as long as you make good content and stay on topic, and keep your views and work separate yaknow. Like hell, if you want to make separate videos about that then by all means, but I'm watching a tutorial on how to set up openbox I don't care about your guns and freedoms
