Making videos about Linux app YouTube and opensource YouTube alternatives

Hey yall!

So I’ve been thinking about making videos about cool Gnome and KDE software (cuz those are the fedora versions I use). Pretty much just checking them out and promoting them. I see so many out there that are really neat and I think people should be more aware and the people who make them should get props.

I have all the equipment to do it so why not?

I figured I’d post on youtube but keeping in spirit of FOSS I’d also like to post on an opensource platform. Yall have any suggestion I’ve looked around a little but I figured I’d ask the community for thoughts. Also if you have any suggestions of Apps that I should look at lmk.

btw my youtube channel is @jeffiscowCS mostly CounterStrike stuff and me doing “folk” ish cover songs. lol

Good luck with your videos! If you’re looking for an open source platform to host videos on, a PeerTube instance may be your bet. However, I think different instances have different policies over who can start uploading content, so that will be something to consider.

I’m leaning towards PeerTube. I’d just need to figure out what instance to join, gonna dig deeper into it.

Odysee is still a thing right?

Do your research of course. I used to use it a lot back when it was LBRY. I think the FTC shut it down but they had Odysee as a fallback. I think you will need to host some of the videos, I’m not sure. . .

@jeffiscow I am thinking to do similar, about Fedora, but I have low power machine… you might be interested in this too? TIA

I’m sure ill make videos going over fedora and dont let having a low power machine hold you back. I use a crappy thin client I had from an old job, it pretty much it a youtube and steam streaming client and works great running workstation 39. Also I have a yoga 12 gen 1 thinkpad my son uses and fedora runs pretty well on that also.

look like the fedora Fedora Design Team has a channel on the linux rocks instance. pretty cool.
