Back in my day, I remember this channel without intros and them crazy so-called 'Green screens'. So this makes me a veteran OSFirstTimer subscriber Anyway, I really like it though, keep up the excellent work! :D
I remember it well when the actual CONTENT was the main focus rather than all of the cutesy special effects. They add little to the overall experience and for the most part detract from the actual content. He'd be much better off dropping most of it. His earlier videos were considerably better productions IMNSHO.
+Stefan Popov it is a joke because there was an h3h3 video where he reacted to a news report of a girl dropping out of college because she got Ubuntu on her Dell
Very down to earth, fun and authentic parents! Great that they support you in your endeavours. This is what parenting is all about: allowing your offspring to find and follow their passion; and you definitely are having fun doing what you do. Keep it up.
They can't put the word underneath the icon because there is no universal language everybody speaks. If it said "computer", any English speaking person could read it. But a Japanese speaking person couldn't because the word would be "コンピュウタア". So they have to use visual styles to indicate meaning because pictures are universally understood by all
It is almost 4:30am, and I watched this to the end. I really enjoyed it very much. The spontaneous interactions among you guys were really pleasing and fun to watch. Mum has become a computer expert too. And your dad is not a noob in my standards. Keep the good work going.
You did a really good job on the episode, thanks. Also i'd love to see your little sister try xp or microsoft bob. I believe that would be quite funny.
Umm you were making out kids don't know much about operating systems..... and Im basically saying that some kids know how to use several operating systems :L
TheBlackiwid Sorry I misunderstood and I would let children go on windows only if there was a filter (If you didn't know its something that blocks certain websites) So sorry for misunderstanding :L
Okay let me just start this comment of by saying that i love this youtube channel and that i like the improvements you guys have made to the channel. However what i am seeing is that now you guys are just taking a look at operating systems you have already looked at and just let you father trying them out. I mean, the channel has lost it's point. It was about testing operating systems and recording a reaction from your mother. Now it's just the same operating systems with just dad. No offense to your father it's just that don't think he should be doing the same thing as your mother. Maybe give him other tasks and completely different operating systems. Would like to see this comment being discussed in a comment show if you guys are planning to do those video's again. -Jochem Hagenaars
He's technically doing different OSes, like his mother didn't do Ubuntu 14.10, for example. But yeah, it'll be nice if the mom did more OSes again, and if the Dad did different OSes. But I think they're running out of OSes, since they reviewed so many. Gotta review 'em all! XD
Cees Timmerman There's still new stuff to try, it's just that he wanted his dad to join. My only issue with OSFirsttimer is the cheesy green screen. And not as much episodes.
RoundDuckMan At 0:12 he says Diana already tried lots of Ubuntu, so will not be doing this ep. The green screen tolerance is a little low, but overall there's more, clear, OS footage.
Cees Timmerman There is new stuff, but Diana is far more easier around OSes now that she tried so much out. Ben however is very illiterate around PCs, so it freshes things up a bit IMO. Those that don't enjoy Ben trying OSes, just don't watch those episodes, as they still do episodes with Diana.
Awesome concept for a video. All Linux OS developers looking to gain mainstream acceptance should watch this. Trying to help my parents use Windows can be tough. Things that you'd assume are intuitive are clearly not for some people. After a ransomwear attack I seriously considered getting them to switch to Linux, maybe Mint, but it's still not quite at the level where you can set it and forget it. I remember my first year or two on Linux, pulling my hair out trying to get a printer to work, or trying to figure out a damn tarball - it was infuriating. First impressions are make or break for most people, so this honest first time appraisal of the system is really revealing. Also props to your parents for going along with this. Be patient with them, remember, they spent months teaching you how to s#¡±. In the future, I'd like to see them try out Elementary OS given its focus on simplicity.
I've gotta say, this is a brilliant channel idea. I'm stoked to see your future video's, but you'll eventually need to get some young children / elderly, as you'll run out of OS's to demo. I'm looking forward to your future endeavors :]
Hahah your mom is better with computers than your dad ;) And she's learning fast, while your dad is repeating the same error over and over, hoping that the n-th time it will suddenly work :P But your mom.... she should really be hired by Google to help improve the usability of TH-cam :P
'Who's going to sneak in to your place and just install all this software for you and then run out again." - "People with sick minds." One of the nicest videos! Cute family!
I decided to try Ubuntu after watching this video and three days later, I pretty much love it. What really kills the experience is the lack of programs and the lack for abstraction. For example, if we have a microwave and we hit a button on it to cook something, it just works right? That's how Windows is, you run a setup program to install a driver with out having to worry about what's actually going on. In Linux, I found this to not be true in some cases, where you have to basically type commands into the terminal to properly configure the drivers. While this may seem cool, geeky and safer in a way it is more dangerous for the general consumer attempting to do it because typing in the wrong command could render the OS useless as I found out myself installing certain drivers. Ubuntu is moving in the right direction with the software center but we need more abstraction in this OS, the user doesn't need to know the innards of the program to be able to make use of it, it should simply just work and the program with this is, there seems to be no standard and no portability at all across distros! What works on one system may not even work on another! The things I did like where the nice beautiful interface, big clear beautiful fonts and over all a friendly community but this OS still has a long way to go before it becomes mature enough that it's "more out there" I'm surprised that it isn't after all these years. Ubuntu used about 500mb of ram with steam running and browsing while Windows itself chews up 1.6 Gigabytes doing this or just 800mb while idle. However, I did notice that Windows is king when it comes to drivers and response time while Ubuntu was laggy (possibly because I configured it improperly) My final verdict is, while it does look more beautiful, I couldn't use it as my main OS. I am familiar with programming in the WinAPI for the last several years and using Linux made me feel like a complete novice. It shouldn't take someone several hours, trial and error or several OS re-installs to properly install proprietary drivers ... I didn't give up on it completely tho, so I emptied one of my back up drives and installed Ubuntu on it, this way should Windows become unstable, I can at least still have Linux as a back up to get simple things done thanks to a very small foot print. Linux was able to read/write into my backup NTFS partitioned drive I use for Windows. However, the Linux installation doesn't show up at all under Windows because Windows can't read the ext4 partition.
You just type in drivers, click on "additional drivers" (or proprietary drivers) and install the drivers there. People must be misguiding you by telling you to use the terminal. You use that graphical tool. I do think the terminal on Linux is way easier than Windows's command prompt, though, I mean you can go "sudo apt-get install firefox" and BAM!!! Firefox. :D
Rafael Santana I didn't explain very well. You click on the Dash, then search for the additional drivers tool, I didn't mean the terminal/command prompt, sorry.
It's alright bud, I have been using Linux ever seen and have become better at it! I am currently running LInux Mint 17.1 'Rebecca' RC - 32bit version and loving it. I prefer that over Ubuntu/Unity !
She talks about consistency at 11:00. Canonical should listen bc the GNOME 3 still completly different, and for people who don't know.... Unity was clear. GNOME Shell isn't.
4:09 In real life, Ubuntu is even more confusing. Here, dad minimizes a window. "Where has it gone?". Son gives a huge hint : one of the icons in the task bar has something different from the others... => One laugh, and the problem is solved. It took me several *days* to notice the tiny triangles next to the running programs. One thing I like in windows is that the task bar is actually a task bar of current tasks : shows what tasks are running now. It's not a catalog of what you may or may not want to do or buy. So I was completely lost on Ubuntu, even though I used many other OS's. On Windows if the taskbar isn't informative enough, you go to the task manager, with ctrl-alt-del (or other shortcuts). My Ubuntu was in french, and in both french and english, my keywords to look for a "task manager" equivalent returned nothing (it's "system monitor"). Windows 8 got a lot of hate for deleting the start menu. Ubuntu is really asking for hate. My keywords today in youtube : "Ubuntu FAIL"
If you don't already know, Ubuntu and other Linux distros have "Desktop Environments" which are all different. The one in the video is called "Unity" (completely different from Unity3D engine). Overall, the Unity Desktop Environment get a lot of hate and criticism from Ubuntu users themselves :b If you want Ubuntu to look like Windows, I'd suggest installing the Cinnamon Desktop Environment, since it actually has a "taskbar" as one would call it. (Although you'd still have to use "system monitor" as a replacement for task manager) As for the little triangles next to the programs in the Unity DE, I'd bet you'd totally notice them faster if you were a Mac user
There is a typo in the ending of your video. Where you list the other channels you have TerriedMum instead of TerrifiedMum. Just a heads up, not a complaint.
Jake Short While it might be getting a bit stale, it does bring a certain continuity to the series. I think (aside from going overboard with the special effects and green screening) the way he is doing the series is the correct approach. It allows the viewer to compare the same tasks in different environments so we (the viewers) can judge how well thought out a specific OS is. Unfortunately (judging from his Adventures in Arch series) I seriously doubt that he has achieved the skill set to be able to do any hacking with Kali yet. Maybe in a few years, but not at this time. No offense to Phillip as he is doing a marvelous job overall, but that is just the way it is.
A hard drive really isn't any more modern symbol for saving a file, than a floppy disk is. Why change a floppy? Everyone recognizes it, even though they don't necessarily know what a floppy disk is.
ben is great, dosn't move a bit at the begining :) Its no fun if you keep leading dad, or helping him... He's even better than mum :) Mum is just too smart :) wish I had a mum this tech savy... and dad is great, more vids from dad :)
This is painful to watch. Are you usability testing? Because if you are, you should really calm down and let your parents find things out on their own.
Ubuntu is the best for the beginner for the universal ALT search alone. I have given it to my grandparents and they haven't had any problems with it in the seven months they have had it.
Philip: - "[...if there where were no root password...] what if they [people] install a hundred programs... and fill up your whole computer with them. That would be very bad." Diana: - "Who's gonna sneak into your place and just... install all this software for you and then run out again?" Ben: - "People with SICK minds!" - - - You said it, Kenobi ;) !
While I enjoyed the content I still wish to point out: You mispronounced somethings (good job on "Ubuntu" by the way), Also average Microsoft Windows release prices begin from $150, There is no such thing as "Windows Office" or "Windows Word" -- its "Microsoft Office" it is a standalone product. LibreOffice is not exclusive and not technically designed for Ubuntu: LibreOffice is a standardized free writing program available for many platforms. Like if you don't really care...
I find this videos entertaining and funny at times... :) Like when he opened Calc, I did the same exact thing when I first got LibreOffice. Haha So misleading. I'm a Calc and Excel Pro though. :)
Hi Guys, I'm a 51yo and I'm a new using Ubuntu and I like it very much and for the same reason you explained on your video "it's much easier to learn on how to use it correctly no much hassle. I still miss a few windows Microsoft features but is getting easy and I can tell that I can use something similar from Ubuntu software's and partners and all for free.Thanks for your funny and instructive video with simple instructions for people like us... now I'm more comfortable navigating the internet using Ubuntu 14.04 or so. Eddie (Albury NSW Australia)
...people with sick minds! Hahah I love your family! Thank you so much for these videos, this is such a great idea. I subbed :D Greetings from Montenegro!
Hey Philip, I'm wondering which music you used at the very beginning (not the intro, before that) and at the very end of the video? I know it's from Incompetech but what's the name of them? Thanks.
I´m definitely not super good with computers but i know my way around... but damn i think i spend about 20 hours just get my fucking graphics card(gtx 980) to work on linux(tried 5 distros none worke)... only to think fuck it i stay on windows.
Linux was created in 1990s. Think of it. In a very small amount of time, (31 years), Linux has came from an OS with nothing but a black screen and it's users have to remember very commands to do even simple tasks, to an os with a window manager and desktop environment, ad thoushads of people are contributing on it like volunteers, and with thousands of versions to pick and choose from. (You can evern create your own distro). Quite a large amount of achievement for 31 years.
There is already a presentation program named Presentations. It was original created by SSI (Software Systems International) which became WordPerfect Corp now owned by Corel Corp. It dates back to DrawPerfect and was first released as WordPerfect Presentations for Dos in 1993. So LibreOffice could not use that name for it's version as Presentations is a Trademarked name.
I kinda actually like Ubuntu, Id never switch to it myself, because I'm installing Windows 10 tonight, but if it was a free thing, (idk if it is) I would!
Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching New people testing Linux, and your dad seemed to like it. You've got pretty cool parents by the way. Are either of your parent using a Linux Distro full time?
You are a weird and elitist kid, with awesome parents. I commend them for nurturing your interest in tech though. I hope I don't sound too critical! I do like your vids. Take care kid.
Your parents are very cool for participating in this.

Ubuntu is the best for the beginner for the universal ALT search alone. I have given it to my grandparents and they haven't had any problems with it in the seven months they have had it.
can your mum/mom or dad tryout ubuntu 6.10
Ben did great job with this OS.
Another great vid mate
Cool parents, nice team work.
Damn I envy you! :-)
This was...(Tries to think of something polite.... FAILS) just really, really, REALLY sad.
I've changed from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.10 LTS.
It's really good.
Recommended for users who have changed from Windows or Mac OS.

I Think Phillip Should Quiz Diana On Operating Systems About What She's Learnt About Operating Systems etc. What Was The Command To Open Windows 3.1?
TRY ARCHLINUX ! If you survive , you'll be able to meet the ULTIMATE CHALLENGE : LFS !lol! More seritously keep on the good work !
Really User Friendly... 17.04 Isnt friendly to download things. Eh looks a bit simmaler
Philip: - "[...if there where were no root password...] what if they [people] install a hundred programs... and fill up your whole computer with them. That would be very bad."
Diana: - "Who's gonna sneak into your place and just... install all this software for you and then run out again?"
Ben: - "People with SICK minds!"

You said it, Kenobi ;) !
While I enjoyed the content I still wish to point out:
You mispronounced somethings (good job on "Ubuntu" by the way),
Also average Microsoft Windows release prices begin from $150,
There is no such thing as "Windows Office" or "Windows Word" -- its "Microsoft Office" it is a standalone product.
LibreOffice is not exclusive and not technically designed for Ubuntu: LibreOffice is a standardized free writing program available for many platforms.
Like if you don't really care...
@TheLEGENDARYBRENDAN there are much more interesting thins gs to do than play on the slow internet :)

File extension: ODT
File type: OpenDocument (Ver 2) Text Document.
I find this videos entertaining and funny at times... :)
Like when he opened Calc, I did the same exact thing when I first got LibreOffice. Haha
So misleading. I'm a Calc and Excel Pro though. :)
Awsome video, really enjoined. I'm longtime Linux-user, but I did learn new things from this video.
Thanks you
Hi Guys, I'm a 51yo and I'm a new using Ubuntu and I like it very much and for the same reason you explained on your video "it's much easier to learn on how to use it correctly no much hassle. I still miss a few windows Microsoft features but is getting easy and I can tell that I can use something similar from Ubuntu software's and partners and all for free.Thanks for your funny and instructive video with simple instructions for people like us... now I'm more comfortable navigating the internet using Ubuntu 14.04 or so.

10:00 it is probably there because you might have a virtual floppy disk drive added to the VM
...people with sick minds!
Hahah I love your family! Thank you so much for these videos, this is such a great idea. I subbed :D Greetings from Montenegro!
An OSFirstTimer video? Am I dreaming? Do I have a pulse? Hm, yep.
Thought you fell off the face of the earth.
Mac operating system since Mavericks and Yosemite are FREE, but i think Apple can afford it with the cost of their products.
One, you need to get your father to put this on his PC, and 2 Australian INTERNET IS SLOW! 😉
Hey Philip, I'm wondering which music you used at the very beginning (not the intro, before that) and at the very end of the video? I know it's from Incompetech but what's the name of them? Thanks.
I´m definitely not super good with computers but i know my way around... but damn i think i spend about 20 hours just get my fucking graphics card(gtx 980) to work on linux(tried 5 distros none worke)... only to think fuck it i stay on windows.
2:02 diana should of said that, since i am waiting for her to quote 39.
Linux was created in 1990s. Think of it. In a very small amount of time, (31 years), Linux has came from an OS with nothing but a black screen and it's users have to remember very commands to do even simple tasks, to an os with a window manager and desktop environment, ad thoushads of people are contributing on it like volunteers, and with thousands of versions to pick and choose from. (You can evern create your own distro). Quite a large amount of achievement for 31 years.
There is already a presentation program named Presentations. It was original created by SSI (Software Systems International) which became WordPerfect Corp now owned by Corel Corp. It dates back to DrawPerfect and was first released as WordPerfect Presentations for Dos in 1993. So LibreOffice could not use that name for it's version as Presentations is a Trademarked name.
I kinda actually like Ubuntu, Id never switch to it myself, because I'm installing Windows 10 tonight, but if it was a free thing, (idk if it is) I would!
Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching New people testing Linux, and your dad seemed to like it. You've got pretty cool parents by the way. Are either of your parent using a Linux Distro full time?
You are a weird and elitist kid, with awesome parents. I commend them for nurturing your interest in tech though. I hope I don't sound too critical! I do like your vids. Take care kid.
