- In this video I tried out an OS me and my friend found called PsychOS on some older computers! It was lots of fun to play with and it worked well on most of the computers i tried, except for the last which.... didn't work very well to say the least!

I think its cool that PsychOS was made on an Acer Intel Atom netbook, literally made on the hardware it was designed for. so sick
Oh man I had one of those in college when I was dead broke. Ran windows 7 barely and wouldn't stay on if I unplugged it. Wish this was around back then!
please keep uploading. I cant get enough of this content
This is hilarious because I wrote a kernel from scratch about 15 years ago and I called the project PsychOS
Do you still have the code? Must be cool to see how your coding skills evolved in that time
@@harinho6117 I do 🙂
best birthday ever, thanx yarp :)
Happy birthday!
@@Ionic1k happy birthday to you as well :)
Dude I have an old Latitude CPx and some old Thinkpad (been a while, can't remember the model), I should try this soon. They still boot and are in great condition. Meanwhile at work I have to cycle laptops out every 3 years before they become garbage.
I love those distros! Thanky for showing them i also loved Kolibri
Another Ionic banger c:
why are you copying me piss ass :
Hi PAboss :3
@@Ionic1k Yo im also in portland. we should hang out!
been watching you for about ~8 months now. You never fail to disappoint. ❤
This reminds me that I should make a proper tools USB stick for work. We see a lot of different computers at my office and all of them need nuking and reimaging. Something like this OS would make for a great tool I think. Plus I get to play DOOM on my off time :D
The music is perfect thx for including the links
Have you tried the new DSL (Damn Small Linux) ?... It also fits on a CD and runs on very old hardware. It's now based on AntiX Linux which is itself lightweight too, but more robust, if you need a few more features. They both are Debian based, and have APT package install support.
"I got a lot of Windows 2000 around here because Windows 2000 is one of the only good versions of Windows"
As a kid I was fortunate to grow up in a household with not one, but two quality Windows 2000 towers on one monitor/keyboard/mouse using a Linksys KVM Switch. They both ran without issues and gave my childhood this illusion of computers being flawless magical devices. We ditched one tower and upgraded the other to Windows XP in 2005 and replaced the second with Vista in 2009 and the magic quickly vanished.
this is the content i love
I have watched all of your vids!
omg your channel is so funny. and the dev behind this is in real a psych
the anime girl on the PsychOS website is so not fair man, worst part is id totally smash (you are my favourite otaku-linux user)
W channel, i was going to subscribe but i was already subscribed lmao xD
bruh i have just been on a binge of just watching ur vids lol
Thanks!
couple years ago blender on that hardware is INSANE
Me quieting screaming about Plop boot loader..., boot anything on a old PC my dude
PLOP FTW!
"My birthday is September-- Oh, It's 9/11-- Oh." LMAOOOO
Good vid! Keep it up!
dude this is awsowme its like watching with my friends
Interesting OS great video BTW
NGL, I was kinda expecting to see this running on an actual 486. :D
Me too.
The desktop looks really cool with the terminal on.
"Oh, that is for sure not working, holy shit! What? Oh! But It's working! Hey, it worked!" killed me lmao
I think psychOS for older systems would work great if they used a BSD as a base. Maybe also use a very simple graphical interface too.
Those tend to be lighter.
haven't used it yet but discovered it years ago, thought it so cool so to support dev bought the t-shirt. haven't worn it yet
you wait 20 years to really enjoy old pc, so wait 15 years to enjoy shirt?
was hoping to use this os on eee pc
It likely wasnt the computer there is a thing (mostly noticed since SSDS but it existed forever) called random iops which is like input ouput operations you need a lot of those for the medium that runs the OS... for reference a x24 speed CDROM can like have 1.5 IOPS or thereabout... a USB (depends on the model ) can have like 5 to 50ish, a 7200 rpm HDD about 100ish (which is ok but like still laggy ) an ssd can have thousands or a lot more..
So yea that's why you didnt have a keyboard as you thought in order to boot the text editor the CD drive's IOPS capability was overwhelmed and couldnt handle your keyboard inputs on top of that so the OS didnt even know you where typing once it finished the IOPS for booting the editor you could type (at a speed less than 1.5 char per second assuming no background app crunching any IOPS speed)
And if you are like "but I was getting better speed with live cds when I was a child" where you did and you didnt... most life CDs where actually DVDs and e.g x16 on a DVD is much faster than x16 on a CD (has to do with sector sizes) and probably the drive was connected with a SATA cable and even if it was a CD rom it probably was a x48 or x52 and it still was laggy (not as in your video but still) you just dont remember well
Also part of it has to do with the OSes being lighter when you were a child.
astolfo is here again!! 11:45 !!
Nice content, one thing, if you want to blur a name out, please take care that cross fading effects can not undo it, like at 4:22. There is the name readable for some frames.

dudes: I love retro computing!
also dudes:
@Ionic1k Also just wanna tell you your channel is so underrated ❤i love your content
What's the distro on your p4 machine? Also, as an ham radio operator, it s very nice to see radio software being used on a Pentium 4! Nice vid
its just Windows 2000, its been on that same w2k install for about 13 years, was one of my first ever computers!
that OS looks really cool
Please make a video about your full lab setup!
Hey been seeing your videos for much time lately and I've been wondering where you got that tux figurine from
I wanna see what its like installed on the HDD
best channel to binge watch on a random sunday
Is it not just a puppy Linux puplet?
duh
They wrapped prboom in qemu? Why? That's probably why it's running so terribly.
To me it looks more like DOSbox. Weird either way.
That Doom game worked *in an emulator.* It emulated x86 on x86 and ran the DOS version of (Free)Doom there. That's why it was so bad.
also, 11:29 can you tell me the what Dell model is that laptop? I am looking for a win2k laptop.
Modern distros would have so much more personality if they came with all kinds of games and little things like this distro does. Somewhere along the way they all just became the same os with the same desktop environments slapped on top
I was exited to try it on a dell dimension 2400 until I watched this so yeah
Good video! Where did you buy your Tux toys btw?
Neat!
i love you more and i want to see more of the old computer what use old linux like this. and can you make a video of setup and what you use in to day world please
I think you should try Probe or Choose your graphics adapter instead of going with VESA everytime, and that could make it work with the last PC.
windows 2000 is the best version of windows i wish they can bring back
It was DOS 5. I think it was called DOS Shell.
THATS IT!! THANK YOU
i would have clicked right away, but the waifu made me contemplate watching this
berry cool
do you use linux on your main computer ? also awesome video :3
So it's basically puppy Linux but with anime girl mascot
Got my hopes up to run this on the AO486 MiSTer core...but alas, no coprocessor in that core, and minimum requirements are 486 DX.
32MB RAM on a 486 is quite big. But on a "big" pentium 120MHz it's period accurate.
what camera do you use?
man do you have a TS or discord server?
i have the same firefox theme lol
For the best experience "a 486 DX with 128(!)MB of RAM".
so funny :)
puppy linux is based off puppy linux it uses jwm or something its from the aussie land eh
i forgot you existed due to the amount of time to make this video
this video still cool though
I've only started the video but I want to go ahead and say the terms "486" and "32 MB of RAM" don't really go together. I'm not saying that no 486 ever had 32 MB of RAM but I never ran across one. I think my dad's 486 laptop in the 90s had either 4 or 8 MB and his desktop maybe had 16 MB. If they were going to go through the trouble of making an OS that would run on a 486, they should've really committed to that and made something would run on a typical amount of RAM of the era.
Hey men you probably don’t remember me but we used to play Fortnite a longggg time ago, how you been???
what was your name?
@@Ionic1k my username start with rookie but don’t really want to say my full username
@@Bur3iku NO WAY ITS YOU
i'm gonna try to run this on limbo x86 on and old phone
We all know why he put it as the featured video
And MenuetOS is 1.4mb
First Comment!
Better then my pc💀
what
Yeah
5:29 climax 💀
1:00 same broo 💀💀💀💀
4:22 transition unblurred your blur Gail
Uh oh ...
@@Ionic1k Nice video though! I was looking for a lightweight modern Linux for my Pentium 1 laptop 150mhz with 32mb ram. Couldn't find it and I wound up installing old Damn Small Linux with kernel 2.6. Gui works fine, but most apps and games are designed for faster stuff. Looks like this one is similarly limited... I guess I should install redhat 5.2 like you did :D
