Young man, you are inspiring! I've been using linux since the early 90s (when we had to compile everything), but I am yet to convert anybody. You have a bright future in training or education. Your mom is incredibly open minded, and she surely raised a wonderful son. Congratulations!
I am 12 I currently use elementary OS but am going to dual boot arch I tried to install unbuntu on my mums computer but she hated it and I had to reinstall windows :p
Amrath Lol People don't like changing what they are familiar with, that's why KDE desktop is so appealing to many people... it looks a lot like Windows. Ubuntu's Unity desktop is a big change for most people, so they often get discouraged before they even test it out properly. BTW... it's good to duel boot when testing (even better as live CD) because it sucks to have to re-install an operating system (especially if you have to pay for it... like I did with Windows 8.1... needed Photoshop for work; but I'm really missing linux!)
I'm amazed she didn't start yawning and pretend to be listening from the first 5 minutes. It is always the reaction I get when I explain technical stuff to non technical people.
Michael Magill I couldn't agree more. He seems like a nice kid. I've never met him in person, I would like too. the only thing is, 'm a tech guy and a outdoors guy. We would get along well.
defi agreed. at this point, lol basically means "I'm mildly amused/happy". probably all the seven-year-old kids who spam it in chat. the kind that tea-bag in overwatch.
Phil: "You just type in startx. As one word." **Diana types in 'start x' and causes a bash error** Dianna "Well, apparantly it wants to bash me up because that's not right" Oh man, that got a good chuckle out of me. Your mum is very funny.
Your mum is absolutely adorable! "I don't need a file browser. Get rid of it!" "PUT THE 50 PROGRAMS ALL IN PANELS" I'm going to install DPOS (Diana Perfect Operating System)
It's called Calc because 1, for a time spreadsheet programs where the only calculator programs available and 2..because it's still just a really big calculator
@24:52 If that is not the perfect arch moment I dont know what is... "I dont want everything...I just want writter!" Not that arch is the only distro to do this but for beginners this is the perfect analogy
+IknowrealTV The "Diana Perfect OS" is just Arch Linux with KDE on top. If you want it, just search up "how to install arch linux with kde". It's not even it's own OS.
You're a good teacher too, starting from the basics. To be able to see the differences in features between packages is the best way for newcomers to understand and appreciate them. Kudos!
I think Desktop Environments are more akin to an OS than the kernal they run on. When I say I prefer Windows over OSX, I usually am refering to the aestheics or how programs run on it, the first is soley GUI the other has some what to do with the kernal, but more to do with software support. Gnome 3 is very different to Unity, Unity is very different to KDE, xfce, LXDE, Pantheon, Deepin, and so forth. In my mind are all different OSes, which are attempting to retell the desktop metaphor in a different way.
Nice video. As a side note, ctrl+z doesn't "fully stop" a program. It simply stops the process from receiving or producing output - essentially, it is detached from the forefround. You can reattach it to the foreground by typing `fg %1` (where 1 is the number of the process, which you can see by typing `jobs`). In order to stop most programs you probably want to use ctrl+c which sends the kill signal and tells the program to terminate. cheers.
Wow, OK. I'm going to try that right after i've backed up my pictures and documents. And then i'm gonna show this to my grandma. Because i think she is perfect for Diana Perfect Arch OS. Wow, limitless customization! When you go linux, you'll never go back!
This video is excellent for demonstrating the customizability of Linux. It also teaches some of the terminology, which isn't essential but can be helpful, such as window manager versus desktop environment. It's nice to see someone find their perfect personal "operating system."
I absolutely love your videos, I found you looking at old Amiga stuff, as I was a HUGE Commodore fanboy ;-) Anyhow, loads of respect for you and your mum. Keep up the good work!
You're doing it wrong. The first package to install and run after opening an old window manager / desktop environment for the first time is "ALWAYS" oneko. Your mum would love that. The only exception is twm where you're allowed to run xclock and xcalc first, but then you have to run oneko.
Just wondering about the whole not being able to sell Linux thing... how come they can sell Zorin os premium? They have a free version and then the premium versions which they charge 10 euros for. Is that because the distro contains software created by them?
AstralPhaser was cancelled because of this channels popularity. I only have enough time to work on 1 channel and since this one is much more popular I chose to work on it instead.
FYI, pressing CTRL+Z doesn't actually close programs. Instead, it freezes them and moves them into the background. They aren't going to use any CPU, but they will continue to consume RAM. You can unfreeze the program by typing "fg" (without quotes) to run the program in the foreground, or "bg" to run it in the background (useful if you want the program to keep processing information while you use other programs). If you want to close a program, CTRL+C is better, although you will have to unfreeze the program in the foreground.
Remember that you would still have to go through the process of installing arch before you get to do the stuff in this video. Installing arch can be a long process but it's not too difficult if you follow the wiki.
Victor Tran , that’s pretty much it, typographically speaking. The most important difference is usage, though. A hyphen is exclusively used in compound words, while a dash is mostly used to introduce parenthetical statements - like this one -, but can serve all kinds of different purposes. If I used an en dash in word, like this: "one-sided", it would still be considered a hyphen. From a linguistic point of view, at least. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why people call the hyphen character a dash. If it’s not being used as part of a compound word, it’s not really being used as a hyphen, after all.
I've got to be careful breaking away from the norm... OSFirstTimer is popular due to these "Mum Tries Out" videos so I'm trying to follow that formula. I wonder if "Mum's Guide to Installing Arch Linux" would be popular...
+Thatguy It's just Arch Linux with KDE installed. If you want it, you could just install Kubuntu which would basically give you the same thing she has.
as a matter of fact this is direct from the gpl preamble. "When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things."
You're not trying to do all this off the live usb are you? Remember arch Linux needs to be installed before it's probably usable in the state you saw it at the beginning of this video.
+Axyl Fredrick Yep, I know. But I personally think the name is quite fly for that very reason. How cool is that? A portmanteau of "package manager" - sure... ;)

I'm a lifetime Windows user but I have to say Linux is a great OS for just the average user who basically uses the computer for email,social media,youtube etc... documents, spreadsheets etc.. this is perfect. But if you are into gaming you have to stick with Windows. If they ever came up with a way to run Windows games on Linux at fullspeed or faster than it does on Windows that would be amazing! I would seriously consider switching to Linux. But no DirectX in Linux would severely limit its usefulness for me. Yes, I know about Wine but that isn't mean for high end gaming.
Classic80sStuff OpenGL is faster than DirectX everywhere but Winblows. You know why? MS cripples it on purpose so game devs have to use DX, and thus don't make games that work well on rival platforms. I don't know about you, but I can't in good conscience support a company that abuses its market position so hard.
+ultracreeper101 wine doesn't do everything though, it it can't run office 2013, what chance does it have at a high end game? And to the OP: *some* games do run on Linux, steam is available on it.
Victor Tran meh, I prefer office 2003 honestly. but I see what you are saying. however I'm my experiences some games running through wine are faster than native windows.
This was therapeutic, reminds you of days of old how you could only install what you needed because of hard drive or network limitations, instead, now you just install the full distro and go. Thanks mate.
Joshua Barendse Also, here's some suggestions for alternatives mentioned by others for those programs Paint.Net: askubuntu.com/questions/142/is-there-a-paint-net-alternative GameMaker: alternativeto.net/software/game-maker/?platform=linux That one seems to be harder to replace, but there's a lot of software out there to try...
Jake1702 CP I'm assuming that you're referring to Hidde Schat using Dutch while the OP of this thread was in English? I believe the avatar of the OP is the Dutch flag?

In other words he doesn't seem to be writing any gibberish pr say as far as I can tell...
She has already done ios 6 but we may do "Mum tries out siri on IOS 7" to see if she can perform a variety of tasks using siri and maybe even attempt to talk to siri like a normal human being. Like this comment if you want a video like that.
Your videos are pretty entertaining and yet informative. I really admire your teaching style and hope you keep making these with later releases as well. Your mom is an amazing sport and asks the questions many of the viewers are thinking about. Oh, and yes Arch can be somewhat of an arch enemy at first.

If you think Arch Linux is complicated, try Gentoo Linux ;) It's actually very similar to Arch, in a way that you can build your system from scratch with whatever packages you want by downloading them from the repositories and installing through its package manager Portage. The difference is, though, that most of the packages are distributed as sources and compiled on your machine from these sources into binaries, so that you can make sure that they don't do anything evil, and you can't get any infected binaries this way. But what's more important is that you can configure your compiles in a more detailed way by choosing so-called USE flags, which can turn some features on or off for each particular package, and you can compile everything particularly for your CPU so that the software will use all those extended instruction sets like MMX, SSE/2/3 etc. if your CPU supports them :> It can give you some boost for multimedia. The package manager also manages the dependencies automatically for you, but it displays them in a very nice way, in a tree-like form and with colours :) (Though there are some GUIs for it as well.)
The fact that in the end Diana removed the file browser, which makes it very similar to mobile OSs and the fact that it has a 'locked down' file system. It means that the different files are only accessible in the program they were created in.
I never comment on UA-cam videos but just stumbled on your videos and just wanted to say I could watch you two all day lol. You have a great relationship which comes across well in the videos. Any mother which can look so interested in something she probably isn't for the sake of her son is a great mother in anyone's book. Wish you both great success for your videos. :)
This is such an awesome video.... I have been contemplating switching from Ubuntu to Arch for a while now and your video has given me the confidence that I can do this. I was originally planning on installing the Gnome DE but your video has inspired me to try out KDE. And as a final comment your Mom is such an amazing woman who loves you so much.
This "house" you speak of is actually an apartment. You really think we could afford a 6 million dollar ocean view house? We have an ocean view but living in an apartment makes it millions of dollars cheaper...
Ctrl+Z stops and sends the application to the background (you can restore it's exact state with "fg" or "bg" to have it run in the background) Ctrl+C usually closes it
I've been following these videos for awhile now and I have to say great intro! A little rough around the edges at the beginning but I know as time goes on you will find ways to make it better. Good job!
Yep I noticed that too. You said it all the way through the second half of the video. Though to be fair, I don't think she was ignoring you. She's just a "userland' thinker, not a "computer enthusiast" thinker. Like many people, she hasn't got her head around the distinction between Kernel, Distribution, Display Server, WM and DE. She'd know more than my Mum though :-)
It's funny how Diana calls it The "Diana Operating System" a.k.a DOS.

Classic80sStuff well you are a few hundred years behind.
ever heard of wine?
ultracreeper101 Yep it doesn't work well enough for most games
+ultracreeper101 wine doesn't do everything though, it it can't run office 2013, what chance does it have at a high end game?
And to the OP: *some* games do run on Linux, steam is available on it.
Victor Tran meh, I prefer office 2003 honestly. but I see what you are saying. however I'm my experiences some games running through wine are faster than native windows.
This was therapeutic, reminds you of days of old how you could only install what you needed because of hard drive or network limitations, instead, now you just install the full distro and go.
Thanks mate.
She actually loves COMMANDS?
What kind of a mum is that?
Phil, buddy. You are blessed with an understanding mother.
But i'm still disapionted by the lack of populair programs Linux doesn't have that Windows does. Like PaintDotNet, GameMaker and other good stuff.
Joshua Barendse die kun je in playonlinux runnen (wine)
Joshua Barendse Tried looking over at www.linuxalt.com/ yet?
Joshua Barendse Also, here's some suggestions for alternatives mentioned by others for those programs
Paint.Net: askubuntu.com/questions/142/is-there-a-paint-net-alternative
GameMaker: alternativeto.net/software/game-maker/?platform=linux
That one seems to be harder to replace, but there's a lot of software out there to try...
+Hidde Schat Does he look like he speaks gibberish?
Jake1702 CP I'm assuming that you're referring to Hidde Schat using Dutch while the OP of this thread was in English?
I believe the avatar of the OP is the Dutch flag?
If that's accurate then it's probably reasonable to assume that the person in question is affiliated to that country in some way.
That would potentially allow the OP to understand dutch.
In other words he doesn't seem to be writing any gibberish pr say as far as I can tell...
October 13th so we can take a break from doing these for a while. The next os will be templeOS.
She has already done ios 6 but we may do "Mum tries out siri on IOS 7" to see if she can perform a variety of tasks using siri and maybe even attempt to talk to siri like a normal human being. Like this comment if you want a video like that.
Your videos are pretty entertaining and yet informative. I really admire your teaching style and hope you keep making these with later releases as well. Your mom is an amazing sport and asks the questions many of the viewers are thinking about. Oh, and yes Arch can be somewhat of an arch enemy at first.
A room tour or a house tour? Or maybe a house tour that leads into an area tour of the beach and surrounding streets... would people be upset if a tour video replaced a fortnightly mum tries out video?
I tried typing startkde but it was having a lot of issues displaying and loading properly so I had to use KDM so it would work correctly.
This is gr8 m8! I love your tutorials, especially since you are showing the pace of total noobs (sry, mum) and also with an aussie accent! Keep making vids, I'll keep watching! All the best to mum and dad!
Cool, glad you like it. You're the first person I've ever met who actually likes it.
CTRL+Z does not quit the program, it just stops it. Typing in "fg" brings it back. The quit command is CTRL+C.
Great series. Your interaction is absolutely adorable!
If you think Arch Linux is complicated, try Gentoo Linux ;)
It's actually very similar to Arch, in a way that you can build your system from scratch with whatever packages you want by downloading them from the repositories and installing through its package manager Portage. The difference is, though, that most of the packages are distributed as sources and compiled on your machine from these sources into binaries, so that you can make sure that they don't do anything evil, and you can't get any infected binaries this way. But what's more important is that you can configure your compiles in a more detailed way by choosing so-called USE flags, which can turn some features on or off for each particular package, and you can compile everything particularly for your CPU so that the software will use all those extended instruction sets like MMX, SSE/2/3 etc. if your CPU supports them :> It can give you some boost for multimedia. The package manager also manages the dependencies automatically for you, but it displays them in a very nice way, in a tree-like form and with colours :) (Though there are some GUIs for it as well.)
I love that fact your mum chuckled at the word packages.... i wonder what it made her think about :)
The fact that in the end Diana removed the file browser, which makes it very similar to mobile OSs and the fact that it has a 'locked down' file system. It means that the different files are only accessible in the program they were created in.
Oh she knows how to do that...
This is a very informative video. I've just watched the entire thing. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
I never comment on UA-cam videos but just stumbled on your videos and just wanted to say I could watch you two all day lol. You have a great relationship which comes across well in the videos. Any mother which can look so interested in something she probably isn't for the sake of her son is a great mother in anyone's book. Wish you both great success for your videos. :)
This video seems to have attracted a lot of people to arch Linux. Seems like its making people quite confident.
This is such an awesome video.... I have been contemplating switching from Ubuntu to Arch for a while now and your video has given me the confidence that I can do this. I was originally planning on installing the Gnome DE but your video has inspired me to try out KDE. And as a final comment your Mom is such an amazing woman who loves you so much.
Hey Donald, you won
So, are you going to jail hillary now
This "house" you speak of is actually an apartment. You really think we could afford a 6 million dollar ocean view house? We have an ocean view but living in an apartment makes it millions of dollars cheaper...
Ctrl+Z stops and sends the application to the background (you can restore it's exact state with "fg" or "bg" to have it run in the background)
Ctrl+C usually closes it
A huge clock, preopened text editor, a "change background" button and "mutiply 2 numbers" application.
Yes, You deserve a break ;) Your videos are very nice, keep the good work up!
I've been following these videos for awhile now and I have to say great intro! A little rough around the edges at the beginning but I know as time goes on you will find ways to make it better. Good job!
Yep I noticed that too. You said it all the way through the second half of the video. Though to be fair, I don't think she was ignoring you. She's just a "userland' thinker, not a "computer enthusiast" thinker. Like many people, she hasn't got her head around the distinction between Kernel, Distribution, Display Server, WM and DE. She'd know more than my Mum though :-)
