Can you guys recommend any female Youtubers?
I currently only have Bread on Penguins and Nixie Pixel hasn’t posted any videos for years.
Are trans women ok?
Not in this political environment
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?
Yes I love trans women
Freya Holmér is great.
She is absolutely great, but she doesn’t talk about Linux, does she ?
This is so real thank you!
SoBatistaCyber, a new and still small channel but has potential.

Veronica Explains comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMiyV_Ib77XLpzHPQH_q0qQ
She is also on Peertube: https://tinkerbetter.tube/c/veronicaexplains/videos
Her videos are definitely solid, and she seems knowledgeable. HOWEVER, she 100% consumed the Technology Connection guy’s personality and mannerisms Kirby style.
Speaking of VeronicaExplains: How VeronicaExplains Records Videos, ft. VeronicaExplains (not the best sound quality.)
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.
I don’t know.
What is vt .social?
VT Social is a fediverse instance for VTubers run by VTubers. Our goal is to provide a space for VTubers and VTuber-adjacent content creators, so we can connect with each other and have a place for fans to discover our content.
What is a VTuber? Is that some form of peertube instance?
as I know they are streamers that have an animated face in place of a facecam
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.
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
Jill Bryant
Just wait a bit for the Linux femboys to come out & transition 😉
Jill on Destination Linux
Why do you care about females?
Its nice to support women creators in an industry which is mostly male dominated
This. I’d add that it’s good for us to watch diverse content too.
I love to support women too, I understand and notice that there are far too few women in this field.
If you think about it, it makes no sense. We see women as weaker than men physically. Which explains why we dont see that much women in labor work. But why in tech? Tech is a place where noone is incapable. Everyone regardless of gender, political opinion, caste can be equal in tech
Because for years it has been pitched and enforced as a field for men. Women who do it are derided or seen as other, and women who want to do it are discouraged or seen as misguided. This is shifting, but the biases will need to drop long before the actual balance will shift to equal.
women have systematically been forced out of tech through the years. programmers used to be majority female.
Feeeemales
I keep my hormones in check, as a result, I can say I dont care
I am trying to get my wife to learn more about Linux. She likes Bread on Penguins but sadly can’t get her into DT, The Linux Experiment or even Gardiner. Therefore, I thought if i could find more female voices talking about Linux it may be more accessible for her.
Why? I understand these are guys but is it a bad thing to learn from guys? I mean all the guys you mention above are good content creators
It’s because men, as you are demonstrating perfectly, are really good at being toxic without realizing it. Many women avoid male content crestirs for this reason.
I agree and I watch them myself. I do not claim to know how the female mind works lol
I think the only few ones I know are
Nikkie Pixel
Mimz Technology
Veronica explains (I would say its for 5 year olds mostly)
But dont say guys are bad
