Normie Linux Youtuber? (lemmy.ml)

Are there Linux Youtubers whose content is targeted not necessarily for those who are deeply interested in linux (even at beginner level) and foss's news, but for those who use linux for daily basis, like for viewer's study or their work?

LIke for example how to use LibreOffice / OpenOffice as Office's suite alternatives, or how to use those networking software you learn on high school but on linux (or linux alternaives), how to game on linux, and they don't use Window Manager but instead use Desktop Environment for the sake of familiarity.

I might be missing out on some people but if there isn't one that already did this type of content I want to consider being that youtuber myself

I think you have found a nieche to fill. Problem is when you don't really deep dive the topics or it is strictly educational, you might get bored if you are a somewhat technical person, that is not a great recipe for a YouTube channel. You will probably also have to remake the videos as software gets updated.

Also most viewers är linux nerds. The average person don't spend all day at a computer at work just to go home and 'work' more by spending time watching a videos on how to work more. That means you should probably target companies and organizations directly with your content, that could be a hard sell if you expect to make an income.

With all that said, I like the idea and even if you only make a few videos you will probably learn alot, try it and see how you like it!
