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!
@@MrMoto655 I had an ‘Acer Aspire One’ too! Mine was the last of the first generation, they had win 7 models with a 30gb? SSD. I dug through all of them and found a lone leftover win XP model with (what the box said) was a 120gb hard drive. Turns out it had a 160gb HDD. They probably had various HDD’s left over when they switched to SSD and threw them in randomly. Battery life was bad when new and completely zero in a few years.

"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.
Same here, mom’s bro was a PC genius by trade and always hooked us up with free pcs with fresh installs of commercial Windows. First was NT 4.0 in the late 90’s, then win 2000 until 2001 when we got xp professional and a cable broadband setup. Most of my friends had win 98 or ME and AOL and we had win 2000 with cable on higher end P3 models
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.
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.
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
Pretty nice OS. I should however say that in my opinion, you should always tweak and max out the hardware specs on these old machines to even make these sorts of alternate OS explorations even worth it.
As for the lack of a DVD drive on those older systems, just get an old EIDE DVD-ROM drive. Or, if the system is so old that it doesn't even support EIDE and you're stuck with good ole IDE, then you can get an EIDE expansion card for those older systems. I remember having to use those to get larger capacity hard drives working in older systems, and they supported optical drives as well.
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.
Hey, at 04:22 the filter blur fails and we can see your name, you might want to re-edit that part in the TH-cam editor if you're conscious about privacy.
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.
"I use leafpad when I want to just type something real quick and don't feel like opening vim" Ok, I found my windows notepad alternative for linux, lol.
Hi, I'm very bothered by flashing lights, so in the future could you try to remove the rapid flickering at certain points of the video like 4:22? Or put a warning.
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
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 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 was being sarcastic. No I’m not a licensed ham radio operator but I know how to tinker with it and it’s fun to talk to my buddies on it sometimes. If you ever wanna link up let me know!
Sorry i fixed my comment,this OS sucks,i guess you should try a Arch with JWM and Rox File Manager,or something debian minimal something that can send this turtle to year 2020s
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.
@@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
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

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!
omg your channel is so funny. and the dev behind this is in real a psych
I have watched all of your vids!
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)

Pretty nice OS. I should however say that in my opinion, you should always tweak and max out the hardware specs on these old machines to even make these sorts of alternate OS explorations even worth it.
that OS looks really cool
couple years ago blender on that hardware is INSANE
The desktop looks really cool with the terminal on.

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.
dudes: I love retro computing!
also dudes:
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.

32MB RAM on a 486 is quite big. But on a "big" pentium 120MHz it's period accurate.
So it's basically puppy Linux but with anime girl mascot
i have the same firefox theme lol
berry cool
i would have clicked right away, but the waifu made me contemplate watching this
For the best experience "a 486 DX with 128(!)MB of RAM".
puppy linux is based off puppy linux it uses jwm or something its from the aussie land eh
i'm gonna try to run this on limbo x86 on and old phone
so funny :)
