Can you guys recommend any female Youtubers?
I currently only have Bread on Penguins and Nixie Pixel hasn’t posted any videos for years.
Veronica explains has cool content
Andrea Borman is interesting…
Following her for years.
Just wait a bit for the Linux femboys to come out & transition 😉

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..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.
Why do you care about females?
log off chud
Its nice to support women creators in an industry which is mostly male dominated
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
women have systematically been forced out of tech through the years. programmers used to be majority female.
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.
This. I’d add that it’s good for us to watch diverse content too.
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.
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
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.
Jill on Destination Linux
Jill is such an awesome person and content creator.
Are trans women ok?
Yes I love trans women
Freya Holmér is great.
This is so real thank you!
She is absolutely great, but she doesn’t talk about Linux, does she ?
She’s Linux-adjacent :P
Fair
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…
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?
VTubers are people who is avatars instead of being on camera. Typically the avatar is lip synced to their voice.
as I know they are streamers that have an animated face in place of a facecam
Tracketpacer is a network engineer

I am a male, yet I am weirdly offended by the adjective “female”…
It should work fine in OP’s sentence, but sadly the word’s been ruined… A while back I heard someone over 40 use it as a noun in real life. 🫤
Veronica Explains comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMiyV_Ib77XLpzHPQH_q0qQ
