3blue1brown is fantastic. Every once in a while I'll be like "what is the intuition behind determinants again?", and boom, there's a thoughtful and concise video on it.

However, there's no magic bullet that will let you learn linear algebra in a couple of hours. At some point you have to sit down and work to figure it out. The field has university departments researching it, so there's a lot more to it than just multiplying m×p by p×n matrices.

I don't know what you mean exactly by beginner, but assuming you have some level of mathematical maturity, UT Austin has an edx course you can audit for free, "Linear Algebra Foundations to Frontiers", and FastAI also have a pretty good free video series/course on it too.
