there used to be more, but now news is the main thing.
in olden times (of 2021), distro reviews/why linux is better/software showcase were the main things.
there were folks like luke smith (not going to his political shit) would do demos for things like groff/troff (imagine a latex alternative, now it is pretty much only used for man pages). but you get the idea - they would demo software, use it, compare it.
there is tle, who did lots of lists (like x amount of tools from elementary os which are great), linux cast would do file manager reviews, brodie would cover commandline stuff.
now pretty much all 3 of them do news. I still watch brodie because his news at times is niche and kinda fun, but i really do not want to hear lkml drama (which is non existent).
one of the youtubers which got me into linux was mental outlaw. he made tonnes of privacy/security/anonymity related videos back then, and occasional covered hacking news. i started trying to make windows more private (it truly started from try to make wwindows leaner), and then he, and tle got me into linux.
now i do not watch almost any of them. (except brodie, and occasional tle and tlc)
why all went to news - it is easier to make.
if anything, linux is now the youngest it has ever been (in terms of younger people using it, earlier it was almost all neckbeards, and i only have a tiny beard)
maybe try to use the newer qwen stuff via their api. they give free tokens of certain amount on signup
as others have said, major thing is federation, which is rolling out. other than that, the are mostly complete.
