It's not a "Linux" problem. Instead, it is something about your web
browser that is either breaking the upload itself or perhaps just
failing to update the status display.

It is possible that the upload is happening, even though it says "0%".
Can you monitor network traffic to see if the upload is being sent
despite what the progress line says?

You should also tell us what browser you're using along with any ad
blockers and/or other browser settings that might interfere with
JavaScript code on YouTube.

I can assure you that in general, uploading to YouTube from Linux works
just fine.  I did it yesterday, with an hour-long video nearly a
gigabyte in size.  I was using the Chromium browser with no extensions.
