 One of my favorite things that DT does is his annual youtuber shout out video that he does And this is where he talks about some of his favorite linux youtubers that he's found over the last year And I think it's such a nice idea because it kind of spreads the love around and admittedly I'm a little bit biased because I was featured on one of those videos So I really you know kind of like that even more because of that But I think it's just a nice idea to kind of share the love around when it comes to those of us making Videos about linux now I did do this last year So this is my second year doing it and I figure why not go ahead and make a 2023 version of that video So today I'm going to be talking about my 10 favorite linux youtubers at the moment now Obviously, this is not all-inclusive. There are many more that I watch I just kind of narrowed it down to 10 honestly I could have done 15 or 20 but the video would have been way too long So I just narrowed it down to 10 and I did pair out the big guys So like Chris Titus Tech and DT and Brody those guys are all big enough that they don't really need to be featured on a list like this So let's go ahead and take a look at my 10 favorite linux youtubers right now So the first one on the list is Jake at linux now if you like window managers and Baskrypting and things like that you won't find a better linux youtuber out there honestly He does a ton of stuff that is just kind of amazing like he uses scratch pads in ways that I've never seen anyone Use scratch pads before he likes to talk about all of the menu systems that he's created through like Rofi and things like that I think he uses fcf now But he does all of this really cool scripting and window managers stuff and he's doing an emacs challenge So, you know, there's just a ton of stuff on this channel that if you are a uber nerd You'll probably will want to check him out now. He's also done a ton of stuff with many different window managers He's not he's not committed to one window manager, although he does have a favorite He talks about many of them and he doesn't talk about mainstream ones on that much either So things like herp's love WM. You'll see on his channel Q tile X mode and a lot of that stuff And if you like those kind of window managers again, this is a very good channel to subscribe to the second channel That I want to shout out to is the linux tube linux tube does a lot of stuff when it comes to distro reviews now I'm On the fence about distro reviews So I'm you know, not a bit the biggest fan of this reviews But one of the things that I like about this channel is that he finds some really up-ski or distros that you may have never heard of before and Those are my favorite types of distro views if this reviews have to exist I want to see just reviews of distros that I've never heard of before or very rare I don't care about the most recent a boon to everybody's going to make a video about that But things like ultramarine linux like hello system OS and stuff like that very obscure distros and I like those kind of videos so Definitely give the linux tube a subscribe very good content. The next one. I'm going to butcher their name So I apologize for that. I'm going to try it. Anyways Traffoton traffoton. I apologize for Not being able to pronounce that name. Yeah, I just couldn't do it. Anyways If you like linux and you like security and things like that they make fantastic Videos on all that content. You'll see things like they most recently made one on kde But they've also talked about things like the anti javascript movement A lot of anti big tech stuff things like tour And a whole bunch of stuff like that and they also make some more esoteric videos like stuff on Inkscape and stuff like that. So they also made one video about Trading youtube thumbnails, which I found very interesting Interesting and I almost followed that tutorial but decided just to stick with the thumbnails that I use right now but anyways, if you like a whole bunch of Linuxy type content security and stuff like that This is a very good channel to subscribe to the next one on the list is bud labs now bud labs does not make a lot of Content. So if you're looking for someone who publishes every day or even every week That's not going to be bud labs. But if you like i3 He has some of the best i3 content on youtube And that's I mean that may even be underplaying it just a little bit simply because Some of his videos about i3 are just absolutely spectacular. He has a series on i3 with system d that was the most informative system d video a series that i've ever watched to my life It's fantastic And like I said, if you want to learn how to start services with system d even things that aren't Specifically services are ready if you want to learn how to start up with system d those videos were fantastic He also does a whole bunch of other stuff with i3. So if you like i3 win a manager This is definitely a channel to check out the next one is one of the youtubers that I've been following for a long time And that's Linux dabbler. He might have might have also been on the last list that I made icons They can't remember but it doesn't matter because he definitely deserves a shout now again like bud labs He doesn't make a lot of content. He has a little baby. So he doesn't focus on youtube But when he does make a video You can count on that thing to be gold So if you like debbie and if you like butterfests, if you like obscure window managers like speckier wm Give the linux dabbler a try because his videos are all Fantastic and they're full of actual like how-to information So if you are looking for really really good tutorials on how to do some of the stuff like use butterfs on debbie and or install debbie and in You know interesting ways or use and configure dwm or speckier wm or whatever You can get a lot of information from linux dabbler. So definitely head on over and give him a subscribe Now the next one on the list is arnie's tech and this is another one of those channels that doesn't publish all that often But when they do they make a very very good video. They talk about things like upgrading to new versions of fedora using the arch install script Installing opensusa. So there's a lot of tutorials and stuff on here And it's all linux content all very well produced and put together. So definitely check out this channel if you're into Linux content. It's really really good. Now the next four on the list are bigger So there I was trying to get everybody under 5000 subscribers to be on this list but There's a few that I just kind of want to shout out simply because they're just really good even though they do Overshoot that threshold. So the first one is nico loves linux. If you like kde I highly suggest heading on over to his channel and giving it a subscribe because he's a kde developer So anything he talks about you can pretty much take his pure gold because he talks about all the updates That kde does and all the features that they add and a whole bunch of other stuff And what I like most about his channel is that he's not so attached to kde that he can't open his mind up to other desktop environments So he spent a month with ganome. He's made several videos on ganome. So I really like that about him It's just seriously good content from someone who has the ability to keep an open mind about their competitor Basically a competitors product. So that is nico loves linux. Definitely give them a try The next one is bugs writer and you might have seen bugs writers challenge before That's like a rising channel challenge. I think it's kind of spread throughout You know the smaller Darker corners of youtube like a couple of years ago I guess now But bugs writer makes some meme content that I don't really care for but the rest of the stuff that he talks About scripting and making Different types of small programs that enable you to Do interesting things like bring in a youtube feed via rss or Rename a whole bunch of files in your media folder or whatever a lot of these really small Programs that he shows you that he's made are really really good I do wish that he took a little bit more time in Showing you how he does some of the stuff that he does But you do get a good idea of what he's done with some of these scripts And I've used several of them including one for news boat, which allows me to use YouTube feeds and then open them an mpv, which is really nice. So A bugs writer is definitely another another one to check out Now this one here is mark and now he doesn't make a lot of videos at all He does stream from time to time So really what if you subscribe to him you'd be subscribing for the streams Basically, what you'll see is that when he streams he streams about asahi linux and I'm saying that right That's the linux that is being developed for m1 max now That's not going to be for everyone But if you're at all into development or even just watching developers work His workflow is astonishingly good. It's so cool. Like This man uses tabs like a beast I like I don't like It's fantastic. I like I worship the amount of tabs that this guy uses I'm not a developer. I don't I can't understand any of the things That he does in his videos that are all way beyond me But I like just watching it's like asmr almost like he just sits there and he fixes stuff live on stream And it's just really really good content. So if you even if you're not a developer Definitely check that out because those live streams are fantastic. All right. So the last one Is tj devries. I'm not again. Sorry if I mispronounce your name He is a new of them Developer as far as I'm aware and he does a lot of content on new of him In fact, all of his content as far as I'm aware is on vim and neo vim And if you're into neo vim or if you're into vim at all You definitely give him a try because a lot of his stuff is fantastic One of the videos that I really really liked was this one here effective neo vim instant ide I actually installed that script that he wrote. It's called kickstart.vim And basically what it does is it takes you into a complete configuration of Neo vim using lua. Now, I've been Resisting moving my neo vim stuff to lua. So that was really really helpful But it's not that he wrote a script to do it for you that was so impressive It's that he went through and spent a good 15 20 minutes or whatever it was to Show you exactly what you were getting as you install the script so that you knew exactly what your configuration file looked like and did After you were done and honestly, I learned more about lua And neo vim with lua in that video than I ever had before that's one of the reasons why I had been not Doing that. So that video was really helpful for me. And like I said, if you are into neo vim Definitely give this a try. So those are My favorite linux youtubers as of right now. Now, like I said, I did not include some of the big guys So if you haven't subscribed to district tube or brody or chris titus tech Obviously go ahead and give those a subscribe because they all make really good content Uh, I'll also take a small moment to shout out some of the my more personal channels that I support So check out dark zero who does zero linux Steve he's on the podcast check out zany at zany youtube.com slash zany og And check out josh.
