For a complete newbie to Raspberry, this is the clearest and most effective explanation of why I would get it and what I could do with is for starters. I've definitely Subscribed, and thank you for this wonderful video!
There's an 8GB RAM version available now and a significant amount of development work done on operating systems and software. Mine just came in the mail yesterday and I'm looking forward to digging in. Micro SD prices have come down a bit too so I sprang for a 128 GB for only $20. Total cost including micro HDMI/HDMI adaptor, power supply, case with fan, Micro SD card and of course the Pi 4 with 8GB RAM, $120 US.
@@cutflow2 The default is Raspberry OS (formerly Raspian). One lesson I've learned is not to cheap out on the micro SD. A smaller and faster card is a better choice than a high capacity cheap one. I still haven't decided the long-term use for my Pi. It's a toss up between retro emulation, running my home built security system or automation of network backups and security updates. In the meantime, I'm just playing with it.
Thanks for the video. Some thoughts: @1:29 a 512GB card should work fine as well, but will probably cost more than the Pi itself. A2 grade card would be best for desktop usage (better random I/O performance), but A1 should work fine as well. A fast USB drive or an SSD would be the best choice, but you'll still need an SD card for booting (no USB boot support yet). @4:20: I would strongly recommend using Rufus or Win32DiskImager instead. They will do the job without downloading 150 MB+ of Electron bloatware. @9:45: To upgrade everything, use "dist-upgrade" instead of "upgrade". "upgrade" will only install updates which do not require removing or installing new packages (this will not update the Linux kernel for example).
How do I find out what bloatware it comes with? Maybe I would be interested in using it or would it be better to just install it individually and only what I want. Thinking about getting this device with my next paycheck
Thank you for this easy to follow steps - FINALLY, I can have an affordable Linux Desktop PC with long term support!!! I'm going to add a printer. Thank you, again.
Having started on a TRS-80 computer in 1977 with 4 Kilobytes of RAM and storage on casette tape, which costed $699 THEN ($3,000 in 2019 money), I find it miraculous you can have a desktop computer for $55 plus your keyboard and monitor. I'm on Win 7 now. My next computer will be a RasPi 4. I'll be running FuzeBASIC on it to develop robotics applications. FuzeBASIC will be like bringing me full circle back to the BASIC built into the TRS-80. Excellent video! I found you just now and of course, have subscribed. All good wishes!
Nice bro.. though you should have included more of what it CAN do. Im always waiting on your videos, love your style and voice audio is the best, you kinda have that talent in knowing how to explain things and not repeating yourself or taking too long. Awesome
Thank you so much for this. I was able to get a 4gb Pi 4 a couple weeks back but hadn't done anything with it yet. This is a great thing for me to install and mess around with while I wait for Retropie to be released. It can't hurt for me to learn more to do with a Pi in the mean time.
i've had some trouble with my newer monitors, so to anyone who also has this issue where the rasbarry doest give any video output, try it on a different screen. this worked for me. great tutorial btw
Bruh I too had same issue...my TV used to show me no signal msg even after connecting the pi.. But i have a solution for this.. Just load the sd card containing Noobs or raspbian in the sd card reader and attach it to pc and just head over to boot drive and just edit config.txt file...u just have to uncomment the options which has solution to ur prob... Msg me if u have any problems.. I'm sure it will work
Thanks for making this video. Passing it on to a new user. Getting them started on the new 2gb 4. Nice way for a beginner to start out with new system I only wish I had something like this when I started out. Until next time....
also don't forget, you don't need etcher, if you download the raspberry pi official imager, it comes with a variety of linux os to use and don't need seperart images, its really cool and easier to use in my opinion
This is the first Raspberry Pi video I ever watched. The best part is the Linux OS! Interesting computer however it can only be used for basic everyday computing.
For that super computer comment, you can make it one with clustering, put a gpu in there, and start to run regular high demand games. But you need to have a lot of cluster knowledge to do so. It would be cheaper than any gaming pc out there, and would impress most people. Could also be mentioned on IT, Data related resumes, and you’d get credit for it.
I wonder what the 13 year old version of me would have thought of this back in 1990. Back then, I just had an 8088 XT, no hard drive, 720k and 360k FDD drives, and a 4 colour CGA display! I was dreaming of a 286 at that point! So having a full desktop computer in something the size of a Super Nintendo cartridge, which puts *EVERYTHING* from that computer to shame.. amazing stuff! Especially for the prices of today too. I think a high end 386 computer around that time would have cost around $10k. Oh how things have changed!
this sort ot wondering does and will happen between consecutive generations 😊 My father at adult age was struggling with a ZX spectrum and I bought myself AT386/486 /Pentium in my teenage years... cheers! 👍
I had a weird thing happen following this video. I increased the ram to the GPU as in the video, but when I restarted my screen was blank! I restarted again and the same happened, so I moved the video cable to the other video output port and it worked fine!! Very strange indeed. It is early days for the Raspberry Pi 4 and I am sure that there will be a few teething problems, but it look's like it will be a winner!!! Have Fun, Joe
Thank-You for this. I appreciate it. What would be cool is that you explain what the commands actually mean. Like sudo means 'xyz', apt means 'abc' so we can connect the dots and learn how to run a terminal better for ourselves; you're a great teacher and little tidbits always help.
Hi Timothy Wagner Sudo means that the user is executing commands with elevated privileges , important for tasks like installing , removing apps ,or system update (to name a few basic tasks) . Apt-get is (used to be , now it's Apt only ) is the package management system for Debian , and Debian based distributions ( like ubuntu) . Fedora, for example, uses a different system called dnf . That's a very basic explanation , hope it helps you . Best Regards
That really is very impressive, and a well made; well thought out video, too. I have not followed the progress of this little machine, but I do remember the first one appearing - I would guess - about 10 or 15 years ago. It seems the R.P. folks have stayed true to their word - that is they have kept it simple, functional and cheap. I wasn't sure when I saw the first one years ago that anything would come of it, to be honest. I am not a tech' savvy computer user, and perhaps that is part of why I am so impressed with what this machine has become. Why does it not come in a shell to keep your fingers off the components or to keep from breaking them or getting a lot of dust in them? I guess you can get one. That you can run a build of Linux on a computer this small, that it will output to two monitors, that the Linux build for it comes with a suite of basic programs (at what price?) and that you can buy it with 4 G RAM at 55 USD is simply incredible. I hope no younger computer users or enthusiasts misunderstand when I say... if you'd grown up when I did (I was born in the early 1970s), and if you'd seen the development of personal computers almost from their infancy and you'd just seen this, then you'd know how very fortunate you are to have such a thing as this ready at your finger tips for the price of a reasonable meal for two in a family restaurant. It makes me feel older then my years to say that, but I am so astounded that this is now possible...although I don't know how many glitches you have to work around to make it work or whether it is indeed as straight-forward as it looks here. And to think, I just spent more money on RAM to replace my dead RAM in my 2011 Macbook Pro than the best of these little things costs. Pardon my amazement at this, and thanks very much for the video. I really enjoyed it. I am now going to blow another hour or two of working-at-home time watching R.P. videos/..... :)
Where do I start? Thank you very very much! I bought a raspberry Pi 4 ... put operating system on the SD card ... nothing! Countless articles read. Several entries in the config.txt changed. Different SD cards tested. Finally found your video and just tried to install the original Raspbian. It runs! Great channel, great videos! Thank you very much, many greetings from germany!
Hello thanks for your very usfull video I have a question. what is difference if you use windows operating system and instal a software for linux or just directly instal linux operating system. advantages and disadvantages? for using raspberry pi for embedded system is possible to use windows operation system and write C proraming? thanks a lot in advance?
You can just type 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' now, and doing that will also tell you if there are any updates available and give better progress details. Same with 'apt install'.
Hi ETA. Great video. I really like your tutorials. I'm starting an arcade machine projekt with my Pi 4. Maybe its time for a new RetroPie series for the Pi4? with install, ROMS, Attract mode and all!!! : )
You really should try to use Sandisk A1 cards on the Raspberry Pis. The cards accelerate small file reads and writes over standard microSD cards. Also, you'll want to skip the update, and update via terminal (apt update // apt upgrade), as this procedure is multitudes faster on an SD card. While you are updating, you can set up the desktop, and overclock. After rebooting, you can start to upgrade. The error you're seeing is because the clock isn't synchronized yet. You just need to give it some time, to sync the clock with the online time. Then the update process will succeed (though not that you'd want to go via that procedure). Unless you're gaming, the Pi 4 works quite ok with 32 or even 24MB of VRAM (16 if you go headless).
I'm hoping you'll test Flint os. I was thinking of buying a pair of these and installing Flint OS for my niece's. They use Chromebooks for school and was thinking this would be good to hook into their TV's to do schoolwork and such
I want to wait a while on this, some people say it is working well some not. Right now I have my mom on a really old PC running Linux Mint. All she does is email, amazon, and look at face book. It is loud and sounds like a lawn mower, I blow it out with a compressor when I visit but if this can do all that I might just 'upgrade' her to this. That computer will probably last for many more years but it is an old gaming PC, not very energy efficient, this would be much better. This is the PC for moms and grandmas, cheap, silent, and standard hardware.
the perfect add on would be a Motorola lapdock. the run of the mill 100 (10.1 inch) is fine but better would be the one for the Atrix (11.6 inch). Make a Pi laptop or a portable emulation station (you'll probably need a beefy power bank battery)
I’m finally giving in and buying one. I’m buying the kit with the keyboard and mouse and stuff. But I’m giving it a cooling case as well as a computer monitor screen. Wish me luck! Reply to my comment if you have better suggestions for parts! 👍🏼
Brilliant videos (as always). I hope that your will be able to do a heat comparison for the Raspberry Pi 4 with a fan SHIM as well as heatsinks and Flirc case. Do you have any recommendations on how to improve video performance on the Raspberry Pi 4?! It would be nice to see how Windows 10 works on the Raspberry Pi 4 as well as other Linux distress.
I had to go with 1ghz if i wanted one now, 2 & 4 are back ordered, USB and Network Boot is coming, i had been using 5v 3a Psu with Switch since 3B+, added the usb type-c adaptor and all is good, No Lightning Bolt even when loading up usb's
I can’t buy one yet because they aren’t released in the Australia electronic shops just yet I’m waiting for the 4GB model so I can make modified stuff and try to get GameCube games and N64 games up and running. If I can try
For a future video can you do it about booting from micro sd vs usb 3.0 stick vs ssd. Like boot time, speed and performance test for the smoothest experience. Which one is the best boot drive for the best experience close to a regular pc.
For a complete newbie to Raspberry, this is the clearest and most effective explanation of why I would get it and what I could do with is for starters. I've definitely Subscribed, and thank you for this wonderful video!

A1 works better than A2, as tested on 3B+ and below.

I find way fewer issues with Etcher than Rufus. Had a number of BSODs on Win7 with the latest Rufus but none with Etcher.
@@pooounderscoremanPersonally I use terminal command 'dd'.
This one always works perfectly.
@@ProDigit80 yes, I love DD. Only when in Windows do I use Etcher nowadays.

You know what we are all waiting on... An updated version of RetroPie for the Pi 4.
It won’t be out for a while, Lakka and Batocera will be released first
I almost didn't realize that it wouldn't work on the Pi4 yet. I have a pi3 and luckily I looked around more before wanting to upgrade :)
I'm holding off on getting a Pi 4 until RetroPie gets developed for it. I am in no rush to upgrade.
That's why I just use retropie86.
Actually i'm waiting for an updated version of windows on arm for Raspberry pi, with 4gb ram and usb 3 it should be more usable.
i've had some trouble with my newer monitors, so to anyone who also has this issue where the rasbarry doest give any video output, try it on a different screen. this worked for me. great tutorial btw

got one for Christmas and had no problems installing thanks to your guide
step by step instructions are very clear
oof. i got it from christmas too but my uncle got me a micro sd card when my laptop only has a normal sd card slot so that sucks
Thanks a lot Sir .. this video is really beneficial for a 1st year CS student like me👍🏽😄
I normally watch for the emulation but this is a nice easy desktop. I foresee myself using this for art and web design. Thanks for sharing

very useful video! thanks a lot! I wanted a simple cheap computer to run linux and learn CLI and here is a beautiful choice!
I wish RPi had some kind of emmc, or at least a safe shutdown integration so we wouldn't risk corrupting the SD card.
there is optional way to use a button to auto shutdown, several
I am not sure how a EMMC would make this less likely. Can you explain?
That won't help either.

An option if you are already in the terminal is type "sudo reboot now"
Just reboot works for me, but to shutdown I have to type sudo shutdown now
Thank-You for this. I appreciate it.
What would be cool is that you explain what the commands actually mean. Like sudo means 'xyz', apt means 'abc' so we can connect the dots and learn how to run a terminal better for ourselves; you're a great teacher and little tidbits always help.
Sudo means superuser apt is used like apt-get most of the time and it's the package manager apt-get then your option
Hi Timothy Wagner
Sudo means that the user is executing commands with elevated privileges , important for tasks like installing , removing apps ,or system update (to name a few basic tasks) .
Apt-get is (used to be , now it's Apt only ) is the package management system for Debian , and Debian based distributions ( like ubuntu) . Fedora, for example, uses a different system called dnf .

I think the class of the sdcard is more importen than the size. Go for a 32gb class A1 or A2 than a slower 64gb class something.
By now we should be using: sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
apt-get is out dated but still works.
Thanks for manual, pal! :) It helps me pretty good!

Brilliant videos (as always). I hope that your will be able to do a heat comparison for the Raspberry Pi 4 with a fan SHIM as well as heatsinks and Flirc case. Do you have any recommendations on how to improve video performance on the Raspberry Pi 4?! It would be nice to see how Windows 10 works on the Raspberry Pi 4 as well as other Linux distress.
Why does this little card need fans/heatsink? I thought people use it without it? And why would someone try using windows on this
I had to go with 1ghz if i wanted one now, 2 & 4 are back ordered, USB and Network Boot is coming, i had been using 5v 3a Psu with Switch since 3B+, added the usb type-c adaptor and all is good, No Lightning Bolt even when loading up usb's
You mean gigabyte, not gigahertz. It's a difference of RAM size, not clock speed.

I can’t buy one yet because they aren’t released in the Australia electronic shops just yet I’m waiting for the 4GB model so I can make modified stuff and try to get GameCube games and N64 games up and running. If I can try
you and MickMake both
N64, yes. But GameCube will not be possible.
Which screen capture software are you using here from 7:00 minute of your video?
thank you for this guide senpai
I thought apt-get was deprecated, use just apt instead
apt is a fancy wrapper for apt-get
Thanks for this. Was trying to figure out why mine wouldn't follow the same steps
Can you still use Raspberry Pi 4 if you don't have a wire to connect to your monitor? Because i dont have one
ETA can you show us how you would install a PI 4 in a car for backseat entertainment?
For a future video can you do it about booting from micro sd vs usb 3.0 stick vs ssd. Like boot time, speed and performance test for the smoothest experience. Which one is the best boot drive for the best experience close to a regular pc.
Thanks and very good video
Very good video, hello from mexico
Just use sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade You're using the old command of apt
Can't wait to own one.
