I’d really like the perspective from someone who is new to using Linux. What kind of “how too” videos would really help you out in a pinch? Don’t worry if it’s mundane, I’m open to any suggestions.

    As a greybeard, I’d suggest how to find and use documentation. man, info, readmes on git, whatever. Not in an rtfm way but it’s just quicker and easier a lot of the time.

    Another thing would be to figure out what’s running or what does a certain thing. apropos helps a little, but it still gets confusing. crond vs systemd timers, for example, or what package manager does my distro run, etc.

    I’ve been using it for a while now but I struggled at the start because I tried doing windows things, but on linux. Thinking about what I actually use my software for and searching for software that way is much better than trying to find alternatives to windows stuff. A video on that with some examples would be great.

    I like technodads videos.

    I absolutely hate videos with over the top YouTube type presentation and speaking.
