Does it work well on a Netbook with a 2010 Intel Atom and 2GB of RAM
They should also remove Kmail and Korganiser as Thunderbird is included, they could also replace Konqueror with Dolphin as Chrome is there for web browsing
I would love to see the setup video.
Great video, as always
definitely interested in seeing that video you mentioned about your setup and how you run things
First time I'm seeing Q4OS the look switcher with the XP and W7 look was super cool.
The Q4OS team made something called Quark which is Q4OS on Ubuntu, it could be worth comparing the two
this is the kind of presentation that linoobs (like me) need to see... a talkthrough of the install and a general idea of the desktop.. and without getting all technobabble about it!
love ur review,kinda makes me to test all the OS!
Thank you, great intro to Q4OS
I installed myself Q4OS Trinity and set it up to WinXP lookalike. Damn, it's unbelievably lightweight and everything works.
Going to use the XP look also, this thing is cool.
Great distro! 😉👍
This distro is really nice for old stuff. Installed this on a netbook I had laying around. Atom processors are crap. This runs really well though. Considering you can go back to a x386 and run this well is impressive. Just letting you know, have a wonderful day. :)
Update: Updated the x86 version.
The 32bit version runs nicely on my Acer Aspire One AOA150 with 1Gb of ram. Not super fast but more snappy than I expected. Great OS for a daily driver.
I have played with Q4OS and Sparkylinux on an old Acer Aspire One AOA150 32bit architecture that I bought for $5 at the thrift store to set up a little laptop for my ham radio room and I decided that Q4OS is the best one to use for what I want to do with it. My other Acer AOA150 that I bought new years ago still has Winblows XP for the times I unfortunately must use it and I dual boot with Linux Mint 18 and it runs pretty well with Mint. Both are only 1Gb of memory. I have ran Linux since I fell completely out of love for Winblows in the late 90s and I will never go back to Winblows on purpose. I have used Puppy Linux for years but I have never really liked how it works as far as upgrading and installing programs and so on. It runs beautifully and extremely fast but it just feels like it's a constant project, whereas Q4OS feels like a pretty well put together and polished hot rod. And I love the option to install Synaptic Package Manager for even more access to the Debian software repositories. I think Sparky might be a little faster but it has problems with trying to install anything from Synaptic and gives errors that I don't feel like sorting out when I can just put Q4OS on and go to town. I would love to see if I can get some memory and upgrade these little netbooks and also install some SSD hard drives and really speed these up! I think anyone who tries Q4OS is in for a big surprise. Seems like a very nice flavor of Linux and especially for the older 32bit architecture.
LOOOOL. I can't believe you choose the blue-yellow view. Well done for managing to get back out of it again. Hahaha.
HAHA u got it LOL amazing yellow on blue. i wonder who use this theme? I
Reminds me of my old dual-boot Mandrake Linux KDE/Windows XP days.
I have Windows 8.1 installed on a AMD 2.00 GHz Quad-Core 4 GB RAM and I didn't want to format it to have a linux system so I used their Windows installer (I remember something similar in the past) and it's great! I was so impressed by this distro that i installed it on a ASUS Eeepc Intel Atom 1.6 GHz 2 GB RAM and now i have a good notebook to take on a travel using it to work, surf the web and even to play a bit of Counter Strike 1.6 on Steam :)
The Very minimal desktop look great for my use. I system with just a web browser for use inside Virtualbox network. Q4OS is also very Virtualbox aware, with a built-in installer for their customized Virtualbox Guest additions. I have not explored this fully due to hardware issues. I plan on doing alot of work with VMs and this lightweight option may come in handy. The X86 version may keep alive some old XP era systems I have. One I may set up as a file server, for backups and boot disk creation. I only used Q4Os briefly, but I look forward to using it again thanks for the review. Thanks
I would be very interested Tyler in what desktop software you use and how you run things in your next video please. Be great to know also what made you choose that desktop environment and why you made the choices of how you setup things. Thanks for the videos!
I have installed in Dell Inspiron 5480 and in a Macbook pro mid 2014 without any problem so far. Very fast distro
Very cool system.
Nippy distro that brings ageing computers back to life. One thing however is that I can't figure out how to edit the programs menu. For example, how do I create a folder for card games and move them into it? According the repo list, kmenu is installed, but it doesn't appear anywhere in the menu, even when I search for it.
32 bit Centaurus Q4OS works with Trinity really well on my 18-year-old T23 Thinkpad. With Firefox ESR as the main browser, virtually all websites run excellently despite the prehistoric Pentium III processor and meagre 1GB RAM. Only TH-cam really struggles, not entirely surprisingly.
haha
Can anyone tell me how to dissable the annoying tooltips that pop when hovering pointer on the taskbar and desktop?
Sir, can the labels/text on desktop icon been removed/disabled? (such as "My Computer", "Trash", etc). I am using 4.10 Gemini Trinity version.
Please, I've tried installing Flatpak support on Q4OS and installing software that way, but they don't show up in the Bourbon menu--not even when I do a search.
I always preferred the early kde desktops.
Q4OS trinity-best real alterntiv windows xp.
Yes!
It seems that atrocious scrollbars are imposed even on "classic" desktops...
How is it legal for them to include good old Tahoma font in the distribution? Tahoma is not among fonts released in msttcorefonts. Nonetheless I must say, I love it.

That's exactly how it appears
Love the distro and TDE, but TDE is such a pain to compile (on arch)
How to make bootable usb card with this iso
I have this version installed on a USB3.1 stick. I'm getting 196mb ram use on a clean boot and never over 400mb with the usual office apps running (I get similar memory use from PCLinuxOS TDE Community, which is a much more bloated/feature-rich distribution). Of course if I open a bunch of browser tabs or run some virtual machines, I can run the memory use up to several GBs in a hurry. This latest update is the most stable Q4OS I've seen yet, but I'm very disturbed that the Q4OS v4 line comes with Plasma by default.
Is Q4OS trinity lighter than Debian 10 lxde?
KDE4 for the win.
This is 3.5
how the fook brightness is control
Can brave be added instead of Google chrome
I installed it on my laptop a couple of days ago, and I had a problem (This laptop just doesn't want linux, have installed many distros and had problems), after the first reboot, the login screen just doesn't appear and it just appears a command line asking me for my username and my password.
I write them in, and then it doesn't login to the UI, it just stays there, and the commands appear as I logged in, I'm sure it is a problem of y laptop, but I don't think that that is supposed to happen.
Try zorin. I had the same problem with my laptop
@@nomad100021 Did you have problems with other distros as well?, because I have tried many and it just doesn't install them and freezes, or when it installs it works like crap, it is just a freeze fest and a slow mo experience.
I had issues with almost all distros. I have an lenovo y545. Zorin is so far the only distro that plays nice. All others I couldn't even get it to boot
@@nomad100021 I will try it right now, thank you a lot for the advice, do you know why does this happen?
@@megaoyi1Wins I have no idea. I have an old asus and it has no trouble running anything. Some laptops are finicky. Hope everything works out
Did he say live environment or life of brian? pommies hilarious :) .
a shorter password would have been better, I use ## for Q4OS
It must be very cold in England. I see you wear a cap on your head, or is that just to look tough?
It must be very boring in your place. I see you drop useless comments, or is that just to look funny?
I get a bit cranky for people who have barren ankles and no socks while wearing sneakers or shoes.
@@unwokeneuropean3590 Good to know that. My mission succeeded.

So, this is debian?
Basically
I ran Q4OS KDE for a year before switching to MX-KDE.
Excellent distro, extremely stable; excellent and friendly forum too. The Trinity DE has a lot of fans on the forum but I don't see the point, tbh, now that KDE is so light. And the kickoff menu is dreadful, and the first thing to change on Trinity and KDE DEs, imo.
Mfw tyler doesnt recognize kickoff :'
Saya baru install tapi gak isa nonton yutup
We don't need another desktop. We need all the coders to get wayland working.
If you planning to game too you dont need wayland at all.
Can you talk a little slower?
So, the bottom line is that Q4OS is lying about the 128MB RAM. With nothing oppened and the memory usage was in 400MB. Liers.
try the 32-bit version, Q4XP was at 262mb
@@Zero11s even so, 128 not reachable.
Talking way to fast. Spending to much time talking about trash .... "yellow and blue desktop" etc......
I know there is some people who like this kind of thing, but dude this os is ugly..its like using mint default theme..kk
Lol, i like Mint xfce default theme :)
If you want a Windows Look and Fill why to don't install Windows directly. It is so stupid to come to Linux and to ask for Windows. When you change your wife, you don't want the next one to be the same as your ex !!!!
I like windows. I have used windows all my life. But i have one very old laptop and want to have windows like experience and modern security patches. This means i only consider distributions like Linux Mint xfce, Zorin Lite (xfce) and other windows like distributions. Im not using linux because i want it but because i have to.
No offense to the Q4OS team but your desktop looks ugly and unprofessional as hell.
