Emily always struck me as a next level expert.

[–] Magusbear@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

Definitely Emily, her topics and insights are always super interesting.

But also Janklord Alex. I love his janky but somehow still surprisingly good projects

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think Emily is my favorite also. Unparalleled Linux knowledge. Havent seen them in a video for a while now.

Riley probably my second favorite though

[–] bison@mastodon.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@FrankTheHealer @m0darn she was in an episode lately but just for a brief moment. can't remember wich one.
maybe @linustechtips can point it out

[–] Feugnis@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It was this video, on the Apple Game Porting Toolkit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Gi2LcXhxM

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just heard her in the background say something to linus I think

[–] FlyboyM619@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You always know there's going to be solid information when they host a vid.

[–] A10@kerala.party 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Emily. expecting an episode on Selfhosting/fediverse soon from LTT

[–] Feugnis@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wouldn't count on it, it's not that mainstream yet. But if they do it, Emily would be the perfect host

[–] A10@kerala.party 8 points 1 year ago

They did a video on jellyfin something similar can be expected

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

A roundup of everything fediverse is due. How does Mastadon interact with lemmy, threads, etc

[–] ScreamingFirehawk 23 points 1 year ago

Alex. I just love seeing the result of an engineer when no one tells them "no".

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Emily, thanks to her I'm on linux now, the videos she hosts or even just makes an appearance in are so entertaining.

The best videos are when Alex builds something stupid. It's to the point where it annoys me when he's reviewing a laptop or car because his time could be so much better spent.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like all of them, but if I had to name one, I couldn't decide between Riley and Jake.

Riley has this chaotic energy and plays the insane one just a tiny bit too well. Jake on the other hand always seems super knowledgeable and the way he's yoloing things is just amazing sometimes.

[–] Magusbear@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Jake and Linus have an amazing chemistry. It's always super fun watching them shit talk each other's yoloing. But in truth they both constantly yolo stuff but also act as the voice of reason.

[–] Feugnis@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Dan! I kinda wish he gets put in an LTT video, but for now, Shortcircuit Dan is a great way to start my morning. Other than that, we need more Yvonne and Sarah!

[–] PhobosAnomaly 10 points 1 year ago

I would say Riley because some of his cutaway and aside gags are absolutely outstanding - but I suspect the timing and the literal cutaways are down to the production team more than the host.

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Riley and Emily for sure

Luke is great when he occasionally hosts

[–] adonkeystomple@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly love Anthony. He just has such a plethora of knowledge and always brings a fun energy when he hosts.

[–] Spellinbee@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] DanteFlame@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had no idea this happened, just saw a bunch of people talking about Emily and how great they are with Linux and wondering why no one has mentioned Anthony and when they had a new host join, thanks for the context.

[–] Spellinbee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, as far as I could tell, there was no indication at all on any of the ltt channels, she has been on a video or two that I've seen where they referred to her as Emily, but she was just barely on screen so it would be easier to miss. She released a video on her own channel talking about it though.

[–] GamerBoy705@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Jake and Dan are some of the most humorous and knowledgeable hosts from LTT. So probably them.

[–] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I love Jake and Linus when they are in the same video together... But if we are talking about individual hosts, I would either give it to Emily or Brandon.

[–] Agility0971@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Luke and Alex

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Dan, James and Riley.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I think it's David, he's just adorable

[–] vpklotar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd say my favourite I Like but he's bearly on any more. Other than that Emily, love the Linux talk.

[–] unscholarly_source@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn.. this question would probably hit differently if posted now...

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I know. The whole situation is crazy
