Literally the guy linked in this post, The Linux Experiment, is the best for open source news imo

He's decent enough to follow, but honestly his content is kinda mediocre. It's mostly reading off news of off aggregators, distro reviews (I don't really distrohop...), opinion pieces, and very surface level UI UX stuff (which is what he's passionate about, after all), mixed with the usual tuber tropes like padded top X lists, clickbaity titles and the like.

I don't even mind the clickbait, as a positive example I find NetworkChuckCoffee's videos interesting for example, despite having all the tropes. Much more of a "get shit done, learn things" type of approach, enough to dip your toes in any given concept, so then you can go off and understand it, learn it and add it to your toolbelt. Useful.

Well what else do you expect from Linux News. Also his channel is based on the accessibility of Linux, if you don't like that, maybe DistroTube is your thing, not really news focused, but definitely more hardcore Linux.

Hard disagree there, I don't think his videos are clickbaity at all. His titles and thumbnails perfectly describe the content of the video

Distrotube has no journalistic integrity. I want to like him, but he is so willing to ignore the facts for his spin on things I refuse to watch him anymore.

I don't think that makes his content mediocre, it's just not what you want.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
