haha hi bro im first so please give me attention
I am sorry your linux experience was so bad, tip: any time using an nvidia card, for best results, pick a distro with an nvidia image for easiest working (or you can use an amd gpu and not need to worry)
Chimera is arch based. 🤡You also need to get the proprietary Nvidia driver for Nvidia GPUs on Linux to have their GPUs work properly. AMD doesn't need this because the drivers are baked into the kernel.
@@user-ol3tf1qi6c No need to call them a clown, you can just inform
@@user-ol3tf1qi6ccry about it 😮😢
It's a genuine accomplishment to get HL1 to run *that* badly
The Matrox thing is basically just a framebuffer, so the "hardware" rendered Half-Life was still rendered on the CPU, but by Windows.
my dads chromebook can run it better.
@@shoeliver I'm pretty certain my PIII laptop w/ 512mb ram and a ati mobility 128 (8 whole mb of vram) runs it better lol
@@loganmitchell1382 like how beardqt said, its more impressive to run it poorly.

My school used iBoss as a firewall for a few years so it's amazing for me to see someone else mention it, let alone use it to game
dude same lol
That's what the "no iboss" websites were, intended to be gaming sites that get around the iboss network restrictions
@@elizathegamer413 I meant more the idea of using an iBoss machine to run games rather than playing games on a connection that uses iBoss as a firewall.
@@JTBarrentine gotcha
I remember dudes at my school trying to bypass the iboss to play coolmath games just to end up mad lol.
Your issue with Linux was because, by default, the system installs the Open Source Nvidia graphics called Nouveau. This graphics card driver isn't official and was wrote by reverse engineering the Graphics card. To overcome this, you could just had installed the proprietary graphics driver from the Ubuntu's package manager, and you would got everything working as should be
Yep! And anyone who has tried to game on Linux knows that Nouveau is complete and utter garbage for doing anything more graphically intense than something a Raspberry Pi could do. The moment you try any sort of 3D acceleration the Nouveau driver completely fucking breaks.
nah, he was using llvmpipe
nVidia has open-source drivers. You just gotta have an RTX card.
@@quinniwe since when?
problem is that the proprietary are also garbage compared with intel/amd lol, the amount of bugs urg
20:09 Love how the Matrox GPU casually has 4TB of VRAM.
I wonder if that's a bug and the program thinks it's getting a figure in megabytes, while the driver is reporting in bytes?
@@Roxor128 I looked at it again and it actually looks as though the driver thinks that how much is being used. lol
That bit at 11:48 where "There's an industry-standard way to deal with this" is actually accurate: Most PCIe implementations are backwards-compatible with smaller link lengths, and especially on older motherboards, it's not uncommon to see x4 or x8 link lengths with that back notch removed entirely so they can accommodate an x16 card.
Or x16 sized slots that are only pinned for x8 or even x4!
Reckon it provides a bit more stability than an open-back x1/x4/x8 slot...
My main pc has that in an odd way as the second """x16""" slot is just an x16 with an x8 pin set its meant for SLI but still.... odd
And if you're feeling more...irreversibly destructive you can also just whack off any pins from the interface itself that doesn't fit in the slot. That also works, although now you rate-limited your GPU's bandwidth forever.
This video was the equivalent of:”watch me turn this Iboss into a gaming computer, all I needs is an Iboss, and a gaming computer”
To be fair, he never said he was gonna turn it into a gaming computer, he said he was gonna game on it. And he did.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qdfair enough
Dude my middle and high school used iBoss as their network security and it was absolute garbage. Ah, brings back good memories of it blocking various websites, such as flash game websites and the ones we needed to access online textbooks actually needed for class 🥰 this video is a huge nostalgia hit
I remember having to turn in my computer to be fixed because the iBoss network at one of my old schools blocked EVERY website. UA-cam was blocked for "entertainment content", games were blocked under the "games" category, news websites were blocked under the "news and articles" category, and the funniest and my favorite of all, sites like Schoology (the class management system that school used) were blocked under the "educational content" category.
Imagine your shitty firewall failing at it's purpose so poorly that it blocks the ONE FUCKING THING it doesn't have to block.
I'm amazed iBoss is even a company, all their products are absolute garbage, they never function properly. I distinctly remember classmates having their school-issued computers locked randomly because they studied at a friend's apartment and it thought the device was stolen lmfao.
Lmao same dude! I remember for a couple years of highschool before I had my MacBook I’d get the bios password online for the little dell laptops we had and boot off a recovery USB i setup to reset the local administrator account password 😂 I could do whatever I wanted with the system and I’m pretty sure I was able to disable the firewall pretty easily too
i always just found ways around it such as booting into an external drive and changing the time so iboss thought you were not a student
@@tbuk8350 wait your chromebooks were straight up tracking devices?
Same
20:22 If I remember correctly the collisions of the game are calculated according to the number of fps, and if they are low enough you can pass through certain obstacles.
yep i think this is also how roblox does it too, so if freeze your game for a sec while walking you can quite literally walk through a 1 stud wall
@@tristantheoofer2You can freeze the game by right clicking the title bar
For most games it actually works this way to an extent. The faster type of collision detection that a lot of games typically uses (called discreet collision) essentially have walls and such act less as solid objects and more as constant forces that constantly push you out at the same velocity you are entering them. So when it is calculating your position, if it detects your position will be inside of a wall on the next frame it will push you back. If you build up enough velocity along with the fps being low enough your position the next frame might entirely clear the wall and the game will let you pass through. Some games like Super Mario 64 will also check in quarter increments between your current position and the next frames position but the same general rule applies that if they all clear the wall might as well not exist.
This type of collision is called discreet collision and is characterized by checking once a frame if an intersection occurred and "correcting" it. A type of collision called Continuous collision exists in modern game engines however which computes the trajectory of an object to detect collision and fixes up those weaknesses with the downside of being much more expensive. In games with bullet physics this is the type of physics used and VR games will use these kind of physics as well.
@tristantheoofer2 in one game I remember FUCKING DESTROYING collision as it was laggy as hell and I had an auto clicker which just caused all walls to just not work
This is/was a speedrunning strat IIRC
Even HL2's got this "issue" (quick saving/loading drops your FPS to "very fucking low" which can allow you to faze through the train)
Good ol' source/gldsrc engine lmao
As somebody who actively plays tf2 what you encountered was way out of the ordinary, over 3k hours and I've never seen a server do that
my guess- the anticheat sees his very weird system and assumes it's a bot
iBoss (at least to my knowledge) was a firewall, as you mentioned, but i have a personal connection with it because my elementary and middle school used it as a way to prevent kids from playing games. the bad part about it was that it had a browser extension that auto-installed itself onto any device that would use the school based google login and it was basically impossible to remove. my memory is a bit fuzzy so that might not be 100% right but that's what i remember it for
iBoss is primarily a content filter. What he has in the video is a on premise content filter. You would run your network traffic through it to block whatever you set up on it. You probably had the cloud based version that used the extension.
That only sounds mildly illegal
My school has a Fortinet firewall that somehow auto-installs a chrome extension that you can't remove the moment you connect to the network, and it did this on my personal computer. I had to remove it outside the network and get it to stop auto-reinstalling, then delete Chrome altogether because I use Firefox anyway and it doesn't let you do that.
@@tbuk8350this sounds nasty.. Does this mean any network I connect to could potentially install malicious extensions into my browser? 😳

This video is a masterpiece. Your 1080 setup reminds me of when I ran an RX 480 with a separate power supply for like 3 years because if I didn't, my PC would shut off under load.
Sir, what was your primary powersupply or what accessories where drawing all the current l because last I checked those cards didnt pull much power
@@2ttrashwagon582If I remember correctly, it was an FX-8320 and the 480, my main power supply was an EVGA 850w and the secondary (just for the GPU) was an EVGA 450w.
I tried like 3 different high wattage PSUs before giving up and just using both for about 2 years until I upgraded.
@@becaring Were they multi-rail ones? Because you need to balance out power consumption between rails on them, otherwise it will blow up (worst case scenario) or wont work.
@alexturnbackthearmy1907 the 850w EVGA was from the supernova line, and for all intents and purposes should have worked for the build I had. That said, I wouldn't ever do that again LOL
For the HoloISO no boot option except EFI Shell, you need to flash the drive using BalenaEtcher, not Rufus.
Yeah I knew a Rufus once and he wasn't very reliable. Is this Balena girl Russian ? Sounds like a Russian name.
@@Gatorade69 No dummy, They are USB iso flashers.
@@notkitkatto So why are you talking about someone named Rufus ? Do you take it to him to do the flashing ? How much does he charge ? Also hey not nice I am trying 2 learn about computers
@@Gatorade69 No, He doesn't flash, Neither does Rufus have a Gender, Rufus is an ISO flashing program that writes bootable data onto the USB that can either be used or installable.
@@notkitkattoExcept for HoloISO apparently
Also if you want to not fiddle with menus the standard way to figure out the distribution is
cat /etc/os-release
@@tabiox the intelligent way is to try every package manager until one works
In HL1 you can absolutely just phase through the tram. Crouching or jumping will get you every time. If you notice in L4D2 it still happens, npcs in elevators will glitch in and out of the floor as will you. Flawless games
love the tf2 sounds
and the scout screaming in agony
My school district used this for their firewall, when I worked in the tech building I saw this device rack mounted with the rest of the equipment. I was surprised to discover this because it was very easy to bypass lol
this is the only channel I can actually watch 25 minutes of. Love the work.
i didn't even realize i sat through a half hour video lol
This and DankPods. They're the only ones that can keep my interest going indefinitely. What magic is this?

The meme edits are on point. I appreciate them.
did anyone else start crying when he said "i'm just gonna assume all the best drivers are installed"

never decided to touch it, and never seen a video of it (until right now ofc). the style's kinda awesome though

Fact: "management interface" is an anagram for "gaming gaming"
ga.

The iboss is/was a web filter appliance. That site is likely some kid sharing links that the iboss their school used weren't blocking.
Those old Intel DC SSDs were crazy solid. I still have all of the ones I've bought over the years still in service as unimportant boot drives.
Yeah he def shouldn't toss that SSD, it's basically made for data centers and are hella reliable
Chimera OS is based on "Arch" so the update command is: sudo pacman -Syu
Bazzite is a new SteamOS-ish distro that recently released, looks pretty good so far, also included Nvidia drivers and everything
Yee I'm going to check it out soon
@@BringusStudiosBTW SteamOS is based on Arch Linux so any SteamOS-based distro will also be based on Arch Linux, which uses pacman as its package manager instead of apt like Debian-based distros do
Update: sudo pacman -Syu
Install: sudo pacman -S (package)
Uninstall: sudo pacman -R (package)
he used it in his chrome meet video
NTFS won't work for booting unless the BIOS has NTFS drivers (they usually don't), use FAT16 (OR FAT32) for the boot/flash drive partition.
Or use Ventoy
@@LetrixAR M.2 USB-C terabyte hard drive with Ventoy goes BRRRRR.
HoloISO is not the only one with problems with Nvidia cards, it's all linux. The choices are either nouveau (slow) or nvidia official drivers (fast but incredibly unstable due to requiring kernel mods).
Even on Fedora it's unstable because the install/upgrade recompiles the drivers and kernel in the background after yum/dnf is done. If that is interrupted Nvidia becomes NoVideo.
also there's a set of options that you have to put into grub or Xorg server refuses to start because of some bullshit in the Nvidia driver.
Troubleshooting it is so stupid because there is no feedback or fallback, you have to turn off gui boot, disable the display manager, and stare at raw terminal. Source: I spent a whole 40 hours at work trying to get two nvidia cards to work for a tv wall because Nvidia drivers set up their own default XServer conf that breaks itself.
AMD 👑
I'm using an NVIDIA GPU in Kubuntu 23.10 and haven't encountered any problems so far. I believe it depends on the distribution you are using and the driver version. Currently, I'm using version 535 of the driver, version 545 didn't work correctly for me.
If you're having difficulties finding the CMOS clear jumper you can just remove the coin cell battery for a few seconds and it should do the same thing.
The Ubuntu Experience(tm) geniunely got a chuckle out of me. Hilariously relatable, good stuff.
Hey Bringus,
a viewer from germany here.✌🏼 I just wanted to say, that I appreciate your videos and your love to all this technical fiddeling around. I for myself don`t understand half of what you are actually doing with soldering, bios-stuff and linux, but I enjoy the energy and determination you have at tackling the obstacles that get in your way to “wrongly” using tech the way you want. And what I wanted to point out (just being half-way through your video) is, that I love the short cuts to your face in front of the mic like the one at 9:15. It has such wonderful comedic affect to just see a human face react to its one jokes without the horrendous amounts of mainstream dopamine floods of sound effects and layers stacked on top of each other. Your videos have a good flow and balance to them, which I really like. Just wanted to say thank you for that and give some small feedback. Keep it up

My first PC I actually bought for myself had a Matrox G200. It was a Pentium II with 128MB Ram. I was not prepared to see this chip, even some funny variant of it, together with a 6-Core Xeon and 500 (!!!) times the ammount of RAM. WILD.
Oh and games like Half-Life, AvP and Unreal ran fine on it (last one after numerous driver issues).
15:24 the gnome-software icon at the bottom: am I a joke to you?
Nice to see another bringus studios production, Love the energy and goofiness as always, Awesome stuff my friend!

If you want framerate measurements on any valve game the command net_graph 3 shows that and network data in a neat way! you may have to adjust its position with net_graphwidth and net_graphpos tho

The old Xeon's are actually quite good. I currently run a E5-1650 v3 with a 2070 and runs things like GTA and other AAA titles at relatively good FPS.
I just found your channel. It is the epitome of what I like to do. Thanks for giving me new ideas. My tech hoard is about to get a whole hell of a lot more interesting
this by far is the only channel that activates my inner nerd for stuff like this

Old server, computers or workstations are actually a real powerhouse. Yeah, sure it may not have a lot of single thread performance, but with the multi thread performance, you could still play a lot of good games at 60 FPS with the right graphics card without any bottleneck that’s what I use for my main PC.
I approve of the iboss and the GPU chosen to run that ship of a machine.
i love at 1:24 that the video lagged for me for like a second after you said "huh" so i got time to inspect how truly gaming it indeed it
I like how the dancing triangle was in the apps menu in 15:55
I haven’t seen Iboss since elementary school 💀
It's always a good day when bringus posts.
12:00 Once had a server-board with only PCIe 1x Port, just did what you did to insert my PCIe x16 card into the board, worked flawlessly... a little bit slow, but worked!

I've got a Dell R210ii with that graphics adapter, it is awful. I got annoyed with how painful even moving windows around the screen was, so I put a HD 6570 in there. Even though consumer AMD cards don't have drivers for Windows Server, it was still a way better experience with the basic display adapter.
Aww, i missed it. Anyway, the moment i saw another Bringus upload, i knew i had to watch it ASAP! :)
your knowledge, the follow along, the meme are just right
from a science tablet to a firewall, you always go to far :)
Did you verify that the power supply for the 1080 ever started up? I've had to run power supplies in a kind of similar fashion where it wasn't connected to the board and you need to essentially jump one of the pins that would be connected to the motherboard so the power supply knows to turn on.
imagine inadvertently finding new Half life 1 speedrun tech on an Iboss. This is truly a gaming machine.

You needed to turn off modesetting on the kernel boot from nouveau. That would have worked, albeit with a nasty console resolution prior to getting into X11.
My friend woke up to $3,000 charged to his card not joking.

Ah the driver issue you were having with the 1080 is common and my solution is to not use the latest drivers then everything works. just keep going back to older and older drivers till it works.
You unlocked a memory of elementary school to early middle school where they used this kind of hardware instead of an apparent custom solution.
