I've tried out quite a few, but the ones I've stuck with are:
Destination Linux: I haven't listened to it in a whule because I barely have any time left for it, but it can often be very interesting and educational.
Tech over Tea: It's an Interview-style podcast where Brodie Robertson, a well-known Linux YouTuber, interviews a member of the Open Source community, usually a developer, about their project and you could often get some interesting insights into the life and responsibilities of an open source developer, as well as some interesting stories during development and insights into what the future of the project might look like.
Are those podcasts any good for Linux noobs? I recently bought a used Steam Deck and love the OS so much that I'm considering building a beefy Chimera OS desktop to rival my PS5 in the living room and also replace my 2015 gaming laptop. I'm hesitant because I haven't seen much info on how Chimera does outside of gaming since I still want to be able to also do standard browsing and stream TV/movies.
I don't know much about programming, so I'm a little nervous about where to start with making sure I'm prepared for troubleshooting Linux issues that I know I'll encounter. I did okay with Windows issues but I've heard nothing but complaints about 11.
Linux Unplugged and Selfhosted are the podcasts I started to listen to when getting into Linux. Otherwise I posted a full list of other Linux podcasts that I like in the comments ๐
You can watch them but they aren't made to be educational, so if you're looking for educational content, I'd say DL is okay, while Tech over Tea, while it is my favorite, is not exactly a channel used to learn about Linux. If you want to learn Linux as a career, I'd point to Learn Linux TV. Learning about Linux for general usage, I'd recommend CTT, DistroTube, InfinitelyGalactic, OldTechBloke, and The Linux Experiment.
