Can you guys recommend any female Youtubers?
I currently only have Bread on Penguins and Nixie Pixel hasn’t posted any videos for years.

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.
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.
Marcan and Lina are listed separately on the about page. https://asahilinux.org/about/
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…
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.
Veronica Explains comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMiyV_Ib77XLpzHPQH_q0qQ
She is also on Peertube: https://tinkerbetter.tube/c/veronicaexplains/videos

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.
The intersection of female Linux user and female YouTuber is very small, however there are female Linux user groups, which are much larger, who often meet at conferences. Might be something to look into.
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

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
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.
Feeeemales
I keep my hormones in check, as a result, I can say I dont care
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..Andrea Borman is interesting…
Glad to see Andrea here!
I love this channel
Following her for years.
Didn’t she stop?
