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.

Can you guys recommend any female Youtubers?

I currently only have Bread on Penguins and Nixie Pixel hasn't posted any videos for years.

Speaking of VeronicaExplains: How VeronicaExplains Records Videos, ft. VeronicaExplains (not the best sound quality.)

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Her videos are definitely solid, and she seems knowledgeable. HOWEVER, she 100% consumed the Technology Connection guy's personality and mannerisms Kirby style.

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.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Marcan and Lina are listed separately on the about page. https://asahilinux.org/about/

[–] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

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...

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

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

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 is such an awesome person and content creator.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

She's an absolute darling, and super smart and knowledgeable.

Tracketpacer is a network engineer

And she has a cute baby switch. The switch knows nothing. Not even ABCs. Just knows to be little and nap.

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?

She is absolutely great, but she doesn't talk about Linux, does she ?
