    Written Linux news

    LWN.net gets into the details of Linux development, security and the free software community. It can get technical, but it’s great for understanding why something is changing and what developers are discussing. Some articles require a subscription for immediate access.

    Phoronix is a useful stop for hardware support, graphics drivers, kernel changes and benchmarks. If you enjoy checking how the latest AMD or Intel hardware performs on Linux, there are plenty of graphs waiting for you. You may want to avoid the comment section though.

    OMG! Ubuntu covers Ubuntu, desktop Linux, apps and GNOME extensions in an approachable way. You don’t need to run Ubuntu to find something useful here, especially if you enjoy discovering little improvements for your desktop.

    Linuxiac covers distributions, desktop environments and open-source software releases. Handy for keeping track of what’s new without spending your afternoon digging through release announcements.

    9to5Linux follows distribution releases, desktop environments, kernel updates and Linux apps. Its weekly roundup is particularly useful when you’ve been busy actually using your computer and want to catch up on what you missed.

    Project updates are worth following too. KDE’s announcements and This Week in GNOME give you news straight from the people building the software, including new features, fixes and things still taking shape.

    Linux news on video

    This Week in Linux is Michael Tunnell’s Linux and open-source news roundup. A handy way to catch up with a cuppa, with links available when a story sends you down a rabbit hole.

    The Linux Experiment is Nick’s channel covering Linux news, desktop software, privacy and opinion. There’s a good mix of updates and explanations, plus a longer podcast if you finish a video and still want more Linux chat.

    Gardiner Bryant covers Linux, gaming and free software, making his channel worth a look if Steam Deck and Linux gaming are your thing. Expect news mixed with personal takes and enthusiasm for the subject.

    Learn Linux TV is Jay LaCroix’s home for practical tutorials, distribution reviews and hardware coverage. It leans more towards learning than news, so it’s a useful companion when you’ve read about something and now want to see how it works.

    Veronica Explains is the “Linux Mom”, a sysadmin and COBOL lady posting videos about cool things you can do with Linux and a whole lot of retro too.
