What a fantastic tutorial. I've only had my pi a couple of weeks and I’m still trying to decide what OS I have on it. This has been very helpful, thank you.
Here's a little tip for chaining command in terminal: use the semi-colon (;) instead of double ampersand (&&). The difference being that the commands following the semi-colon will wait for successful completion of the previous command whereas they do not with &&.
Thank you very much for posting your video. I have multi-booted Twister onto a SSD and your video clearly explained how to do this. BTW, it took 90 minutes for RetroPie install. Thanks.
detailed and thorough... would also like to see how best to set up and configure and use tailscale/taildrop on bare metal or virtual devices/VMs/clusters locally and then remotely. Then compare it with zerotier that u previously covered. there seems to be a race here for this presentation of tailscale/taildrop, but I believe yours is going to be even more thorough.
Great video! I followed along and installed TwisterUI on my Intel NUC. But, when I tried to install Bookshelf ( get two dpkg dependency errors. The first one says "package rp-bookshelf is not installed" and the second one says "errors encountered while processing: rp-bookshelf -dbgsym"
Bookshelf seems great for hosting a reference library on your x86 system which may have more room than your Pi. I am going to use Twister as a standard for my new systems, x86 or Pi. I may leave my main Machine alone, for now. it has Mint XFCE with years of work. I will use it for new systems. Thanks for everything.
No problem. Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to install the Pi edition of Minecraft as its designed for ARM processors rather than x86. If you're happy to run the standard Minecraft, you can download the Debian-based installer from the following web page: www.minecraft.net/en-us/download Hope that helps :)
@@bytemypi2918 I don't think my pc would be able to handle it. It's rocking an intel core 2 duo q6600 with 3 gigs of ram, and even windows 10 runs shitty on it. How about running minecraft pocket edition on it? Would it work on xubuntu?
@@shivashankaranmudaliar5368 Blimey, the Q6600 - now there's a blast from the past. What a great CPU. I used to have one of those. I believe Minecraft pocket edition is the old name for the mobile version of Minecraft, so again you'd have trouble running it on an x86 computer.
Thank you so much for this video it has helped me so much because I am now using Mint 20 with twister UI on my PC along side windows 10 Duel boot but separate drives one for Mint other windows 10. Because this is my first time using this Mint and everything looking good so far I will probability completely DELETE windows all together on this PC and use Linux Mint instead of windows . Lets see how things go . Only have a couple games I use in windows so not loosing much if anything
1. Is it safe to install alongside windows 10 2. Will I be able to access files from windows partition just like in ubuntu? thanks a lot for this great video
You're welcome :) It's as safe as any other Linux operating system when dual booting with Windows 10. Generally, Linux is a lot more forgiving when it comes to sharing a single drive. If anything, it's usually Windows that will overwrite the Linux boot partition after running an update!
Thank you for the help installing Twister on my laptop. I could not of done it without your help. i do have one small problem. when i connect with a network cable i can get to my network hard drives. But if i use wifi i can not see my network hard drives. Can you help me. Again thank you and God Bless You
You're welcome. There are a few reasons why you may be able to access your networked hard drives via ethernet but not wifi. The first thing to check is your router. Some routers have a setting known as AP isolation. When enabled, this prevents wifi devices accessing the LAN so, if yours has it, make sure its turned off. If that isn't the issue, and assuming you're not already, try accessing the network drive using its IP address rather than its hostname (e.g. '192.168.1.10' instead of 'netdrive'). If it still doesn't work, open the Terminal and type "ip a" (without the quotes). After pressing enter this should show you information about your computer's network adapters. Check to see if both the ethernet and wifi adapters are getting an IP address on the same network. Both should start with the same three octets, e.g. 192.168.1... Hope that helps :)
Hello, I'm doing the update for the second time now but unlike the first time it doesn't work at all the second time. I've tried it with Mint and Xubuntu but whenever the Twister UI was installed it always looks like before after booting, no Twister OS desktop. I can change the theme, but every time it just changes the taskbar arrangement. Is there any way to fix this?
If updating the underlying OS breaks the Twister UI, I'd download the latest version of Twister UI and run the installer again - it shouldn't take very long - then reboot the computer when it's done. Hope this helps :)
You're welcome. I believe the Pinebook Pro uses a Rockchip RK3399 processor, so you should be able to install the Twister OS version built on top of Armbian: twisteros.com/twisterarmbian.html Hope that helps.
Hi there, I'd not even heard of Hypnotix. Having had a look, it seems fairly straight forward to set up, as follows. Open the Terminal and type the command below to download the software: wget github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix/releases/download/1.1/hypnotix_1.1_all.deb Next make sure your system is up to date by typing: sudo apt update Then install the program: sudo dpkg -i hypnotix_1.1_all.deb Finally, it's most likely missing several required dependencies, so install them with: sudo apt -f install Now that Hypnotix is installed, open it and click on the little TV icon. Apparently Linux Mint uses the IPTV provider Free-TV by default, so assuming you want to do the same, add this by clicking "Add a new provider" and giving it a name, e.g. FreeTV. Then enter the following URL: raw.githubusercontent.com/Free-TV/IPTV/master/playlist.m3u8 With that done, click on OK and you should have lots of TV channels to try - though not all of them appeared to be working (maybe it depends on where in the world the viewer is located). Hope that helps :)
Would you mind doing a tutorial for this using manjaro xfce as a base? That's now another place you can install it on, and being its an arch base, commands, steps, and ways to do things are a bit different... . . . . .
I haven't used Manjaro in quite a while, and Arch itself for even longer than that. Perhaps it's time I revisted pacman now that Twister is available for Manjaro. Thanks for the suggestion.
Would make for a good "Trilogy" of videos on Twister on your chanel anyway, as there's now a new Windows 11 theme and probly a few other updates, lookin' forward to the video if things go smooth and you think about making one :) I was gonna try it on a virtualbox, but I'd rather do it on bare metal so I don't mind waiting a while

@@morenoglager There are a few things you can try. If you open the Terminal and type: sudo apt install epiphany-browser Then press Enter. This will install a lightweight browser called 'Web'. You'll find it in the internet section of the Applications Menu. See if this works any better. Also, in 'Settings Manager', in the 'System' section, if you click on 'Advanced Network Configuration' and then double click on 'Wired connection 1' (you'll need a network cable plugged in to do this). On the 'IPv4' tab, try entering a different DNS server next to 'Additional DNS servers'. You could use "8.8.8.8" (without the quotes) for Google's. Once you've changed this, click 'Save' and restart the Pi. Lastly, you could try increasing the amount of memory assigned to the Pi's GPU. To do this, open the Terminal and type: sudo raspi-config Now press Enter. From the menu that opens, select '4 Performance Options', then 'P2 GPU Memory' and enter the following value: 1024 Select 'Ok', then 'Finish' and restart.

I was trying WOR for a couple of days and its still buggie. Today i went back to my main ssd with Twister and ......i have a mouse in my screen!!! Xubuntu logo and stare style which i despise!. Can somebody explain this. i had a discord account but forgot my pw. THANKS to anybody that can help
Windows on Raspberry - you must be a glutton for punishment! Seeing a mouse on your Twister OS desktop is a little bizarre. Twister uses the Xfce Desktop Environment, but why you'd be seeing the default Xfce wallpaper is odd. Sounds as though something has got messed up in the installation, probably best to start over :(
Thank you foe the help. i can now get to my network thru wifi. I do have a nothe problem. how do i format a usb drive in twister? i had to goto my linux mint to do a format using usb formatter. but i could not find that program anywhere on twister. i even looked for the disk program and again i could not fine it. can you tell me how to format a usb in twister please. God Bless rob
You're welcome. You can format your USB drive in Twister OS using GParted. You should be able to find it in the 'System' section of the Applications menu. Just make sure that your USB drive is selected from the drop down list at the top right before making any changes - you don't want to accidentally overwrite the wrong disk! Hope that helps :)
Did you make the file executable before trying to run it? Try opening the Terminal in the same directory as the TwisterUI download and typing the following: chmod +x TwisterUIv2-0-3Install.run Then run the file again with: ./TwisterUIv2-0-3Install.run Hope that works :)
Hey "byte my pi", how about a challenge: Using Raspberry 0 w as your main PC for a day or three? I'm sugesting this because in 2012, Chris from Explaining Computers used Rpi2 as his PC for a week. Now in 2021, covid made more jobs change to the online model, and here in Brazil the prices of computers got very high. As i'm using my Rpi4 for main computer for a whole year, ive had a really good experience on manjaro with sway etc. Many wonder what can be used or not in Rpi0w, so this test could be great. Some details to make the sugestion working: -SYSTEM: raspberry OS. Maybe you get a better experience with arch, dietPi or even Gentoo idk. -DESKTOP ENVIROMENT: change the LXDE to sway or i3 (novaspirit has a great tutorial on this). Maybe 540p resolution would be better -PROGRAMS: abiword instead of libreoffice, gimp?, firefox with lightweight extensions or some terminal browser (i can sugest more tips on this topic) -HARDWARE RECOMENDATIONS: SSD or HD with external powering instead of the microSD memory, a good microSD or even leepspvideo's PiSafe's eMMC to boot, keyboard with dongle, cable management, and of course a great usb hub or the GPIO shild with more USBs, overclock and a little heatsink -CHALLENGES: try typing some text, light image and audio editing, youtube playback with h264ify or pasting the link in vlc, gaming (even light PS1 games works), benchmarks, light versions of sites like gmail and facebook, video or audio conferences, multitasking in general with htop, wine, DRM, ssh, cmatrix of course, etc
