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.
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
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!
Phil: "You just type in startx. As one word." **Diana types in 'start x' and causes a bash error** Diana: "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.
@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.
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."
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Great video. Love the way your "Mum" enthusiastically embraced Arch Linux AFTER you installed KDE & helped her customize it. Hope she still likes it. I will certainly give KDE another go in my Arch setup. Thanks! tex
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.
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.
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!
I never comment on TH-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. :)
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.
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.
+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... ;)
+Axyl Fredrick , you can actually add a line to pacman’s configuration file to turn the progress bar that appears when installing software into pacman eating some pills. That alone is enough reason for me to think pacman is the best package manage ever.
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.
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.
+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.

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...
at first i thought this is gonna sucks,then i try watching it and later realise i watch it until almost 30 minutes.I didn't expect it to be entertaining and you really surprise me. :)
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.
This is an awsome video, and it captures my experience with Arch Linux perfectly xD First impression was "I have no idea what I'm doing, It's not user friendly at all!" then I bothered to do a bit of research and started reading the Arch Wiki, and my impression changed to "best linux distro ever!". The Arch Linux Wiki is one of the best Wikis I have encountered so far, so cudos to the Arch community =D
Whenever i google (debian vs ubuntu) or anything like that i never really get my answer .. this channel is my best source .. thank you .. i'm happy that i fount this channel because it has a very little subscribers i mean less popular channels are harder to find since youtube doesn't recommend it for me, it needs more subs
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."
Hi! I like your "Mum tries" series. :) One thing: never start any program by root except what you needed! Especially do not start any webbrowser, even on Linux. ;)
Diana's reasons for liking Arch are the same as mine, in many ways. I've fiddled and faffed and got the desktop environment exactly how I want it. Also, occasionally typing in "pacman -Syu" in the terminal means I always have an up to date system and I never have to reinstall it. Great video!
She is the worlds most genius gui designer. :) As a poweruser I just concidered what I use and how often that changes, and it fits perfectly in that design. You just can't get a lower click-to-purpose count like that. :)
I have few point that should be said: 1) ArchLinux is not only distribution you can "build" from scratch. For example Ubuntu has minimal version (or Debian, Gentoo and many more). Main difference is used package manager. For example, instead of pacman you use atp-get. 2) You can't actualy sell Linux. It's because of copyleft license. You can sell computers preistalled with Linux and offer support. 3) Diana likes KDE and simplicity, try Slax (documenation is more simple). 4) Great show :-)
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.

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.
And for some (like ed) you need ctrl+d, which sends EOF.
Ctrl-z does not terminate the program, it only "stops" it ("stop" in Linux really means freezing a program in a way that it can be resumed later)
I love how she says "I think [Arch Linux] is gong to be the easiest operating system to use."

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...
A huge clock, preopened text editor, a "change background" button and "mutiply 2 numbers" application.
I'm glad you have left both a positive and negative comment. I'll eventually add annotations explaining those things you explained.
No need to type "y", just press enter. The option in capital letter is the default option that will be chosen if you just press enter.
CTRL+Z does not quit the program, it just stops it. Typing in "fg" brings it back. The quit command is CTRL+C.
I love how the minimalistic thing goes out of hand :D
Sudo: Diana is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
;)
at first i thought this is gonna sucks,then i try watching it and later realise i watch it until almost 30 minutes.I didn't expect it to be entertaining and you really surprise me. :)
Its really nice how you and your mother team up to create such nice videos. Great team work!
I love that fact your mum chuckled at the word packages.... i wonder what it made her think about :)
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.
This is an awsome video, and it captures my experience with Arch Linux perfectly xD First impression was "I have no idea what I'm doing, It's not user friendly at all!" then I bothered to do a bit of research and started reading the Arch Wiki, and my impression changed to "best linux distro ever!". The Arch Linux Wiki is one of the best Wikis I have encountered so far, so cudos to the Arch community =D
Whenever i google (debian vs ubuntu) or anything like that i never really get my answer .. this channel is my best source .. thank you .. i'm happy that i fount this channel because it has a very little subscribers i mean less popular channels are harder to find since youtube doesn't recommend it for me, it needs more subs
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."
Hi!
I like your "Mum tries" series. :)
One thing: never start any program by root except what you needed! Especially do not start any webbrowser, even on Linux. ;)
She actually loves COMMANDS?
What kind of a mum is that?
Phil, buddy. You are blessed with an understanding mother.
Diana's reasons for liking Arch are the same as mine, in many ways. I've fiddled and faffed and got the desktop environment exactly how I want it. Also, occasionally typing in "pacman -Syu" in the terminal means I always have an up to date system and I never have to reinstall it. Great video!
your videos really helped me learn arch from a base. thanks! :)
It's a good operating system they said, You'll have the perfect UI they said, THEY LIED TO ME
She is the worlds most genius gui designer. :) As a poweruser I just concidered what I use and how often that changes, and it fits perfectly in that design. You just can't get a lower click-to-purpose count like that. :)
I have few point that should be said:
1) ArchLinux is not only distribution you can "build" from scratch. For example Ubuntu has minimal version (or Debian, Gentoo and many more). Main difference is used package manager. For example, instead of pacman you use atp-get.
2) You can't actualy sell Linux. It's because of copyleft license. You can sell computers preistalled with Linux and offer support.
3) Diana likes KDE and simplicity, try Slax (documenation is more simple).
4) Great show :-)
What verison of kde is this? Someone send me the link used in the video.
HA ! good one
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.
5:15 is it not ls for unix style systems?
