Such a throwback... VIC-20 was my first computer in 1981, when I was a young teenager teaching myself BASIC. This started my path to a 40-year career in the field. 😀
I can remember peeking and poking and writing machine code strings and running them from basic on my old Atari 64. Amazing what bored teenagers will do to amuse themselves.
WoW! Super cool. I had a Vic 20 in 8th grade! This dates me a little, but I wish I still had it. I remember drooling because the kid down the street had a Commodore 128! Our local computer store in N. Little Rock, Ark. sold the Macintosh (also drool worthy at that time) which was what I truly wanted back then. Great content!
I have a Pi set up at home for automatic CD ripping, it runs a little script that waits for the CD to be inserted and then runs abcde, and spits the disc out to show it's done, so it's headless and I only have to log in if something borks. I use Mint/Cinnamon as my daily driver, and Lubuntu/LXQT on some of my older machines. I've been through loads of distros since I started my Linux journey but Mint feels like home.
Penultimate + cartridge! What! I couldn't even afford the 16k Super expander that I really wanted! I had to stay with the 2 and a half k for programming! The Vic 20 was my first computer! I sold it for $200 AUS and sold my Holden Torana car for $180! So good to see you still have it and are making it better. In Australia we plugged it into the back of the TV using the aerial socket.
Veronica, I'm brand new to Linux, about 2 weeks, using Mint 21.3. Haven't felt the need to go back to Windows 11. Would you recommend LMDE for a beginner? Also, do you see the Mint team departing from using a Ubuntu base in the future, and is that something I should be concerned about? I have seen some concerns over decisions being made at Canonical that some forum users reeeeally don't like.
LMDE at the moment seems to me as a kind of Plan B. Should Mint people need to rebase their distro they're ready. I think it really depends on future Ubuntu policies.
Mint is fantastic, I've been using it since Mint 10. I like Mate cause my computer is old and I started with Mate. Cinnamon is the main desktop now. Mint might separate from Ubuntu so they are not tied to possible changes that they don't like giving Mint more control over the direction they are heading.
It's fuzzy. It's coming through a composite video signal- it's fuzzy. Doesn't compare with the RGBtoHDMI solution, that's why so many folks enjoy them. You can debate *why* it looked fuzzy on my impromptu stream all day long, but it *was* fuzzy. The RGBtoHDMI wasn't.

Exactly the same here.
Same, but although I programme, I don't do it for a job.
i love ❤ your videos. You need to do more videos more frequently. 😊
Also , your videos are really helpful BTW 🎉🎉 😊
Your Videos are great Mrs. Veronica (BTW i m an 8 year old linux guy) 😊😊

Ooooh 😥, I've miss it. This video was made for me and I wasn't there... still awesome!!
For Vic20 and C64 enthusiasts I recommend the channel 8Bit Show and Tell.
I ran my lumacode cable out the user port opening since its almost never used.

You sold your Torana for $180. 😢
I had a TRS128 color computer. Then went to the 8088 8086's with MFM hard drives, 20 megs were supposed to be huge.
Tandy Radio Shack, isn't it? Being from the UK in the 80s I had one of the cousins: a Dragon 32 🌝
Hey 🙂
@…
Lumacode and Rgb2Hdmi cover video, but how do you normally break out the audio? If the Pi Zero part could also take audio in it would be perfect.
Actually, the developer of the RGBtoHDMI is working on this already.
@@copperdragon9286 Very cool. I hope to try it out when its released.

LMDE is the same distro but with the debian base. so i dont know

The Vic 20 is not fuzzy.
It's antialiased.
