lol, that display settings thing in helloSystems looks suspiciously similar to aRandr, a display settings editor that almost noone uses(apart from people who like it rough and like 3 people with very special needs in terms of display settings) because it's been replaced with simpler settings UIs with way better UX. aRandr is basically the GIMP of display settings. Sure it can do things but other things exist that do all those things but better.

A suggestion to include in a sequel video: Plan 9 from Bell Labs.

I feel like 99% of the issue here is just google wanting things to take off faster and then cancelling them when they don’t. If they had just kept most of this stuff up for a couple more years it would’ve taken off.

At 2:58 you kinda look like sad linus meme

Kudos for making this tutorial. It is going to help a lot of people start their servers/homelab journey. Pretty late for me, I went all in with a monster 2 years ago 😂

Any of those which I can be able to turn on my pc from remote and use it?

He he he ha

Omg omg omg hello from your newest subscriber. Time to investigate even more esoteric random OSs! I have a list! And you tackled some of them! Here’s the whole list for random cool KZbinrs to investigate👀 The BSDs: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, GhostBSD, DragonFly BSD, MidnightBSD, NomadBSD, BSDRP, StarBSD, CheriBSD, PureDarwin, helloSystem Unix: OpenIndiana/Illumos… Unix-Like: 9Front, HelenOS, Xv6, Fiwix, ELKS Embedded, MINIX, GNU/Hurd, RedoxOS, SerenityOS,, Fuschia, QNX Neutrino, Fiwix, NuttX, T-Kernel, ToaruOS non-UNIX: ReactOS, Haiku (POSIXish), Phantom OS, osFree (open source OS/2), ArcaOS (closed-source OS/2).❤ Also SculptOS and Visopsys, but IDK where to put those. And HelenOS specifically gives Windows 3.1 with 95 vibes

Another use for a old laptop: Experiment on it, for suspicious programs, OR, install linux or a retro OS on it.

Watching Andreas Kling work on SerenityOS is one of the craziest shit I've ever seen. If there is a thing such as a 10x programmer, it is him.

It's a trap. I am warning you all. Go this path and you will never return.

Also, allow attackers to use yours..😃

You nailed it in this video. Your energy is incredible.

hey, you answered my question, running VM on a machine with only 8GB Ram and the M1 platform, that's what I wanted to know, as well as now I know I can download and install VM already configured and ready to go, saves me a big headache, so thanx

For the ave user a command line os's are to complicated with a steep learning curve. A home server does not have to be complicated. You can use any Linux or windows install for your home server. I stopped using the command line in back 2000 after 30 years of useing it.. Way to many commands to remember, and every thing you can do with CMD you can do with a GUI. On my home server I use Linux mint. When I need to change something I just switch the input so I have an interface to do mant on the server and I don't have to remember 20 commands to do simple mant. STOP TRYING TO MAKE SO COMPLICATED THIS STUFF. This stuff is reslply easy a baby could do iot and it does not take a CS degree. if you want a home server it's as easy as installing an os on and old computer and use the networking tools that come with all modern OS'S. If your new stay as far away from the command line as you possibly can or you will get discouraged and quit. This stuff is not complicated regardless of how these KZbin hard creators make it look.

amazing video!!!

woohoo haiku in a video

And even though these obscure OSes exist, Linux is still the best.

Is this a single user setup? Would this suffice if I wanted to allocate cloud time machine backup and storage for the household?

27:49 "basically C++"??? Have you even looked at the language? It's nothing like C++

My bet on toaru OS is that, either is a midlife crisis from the creator. Or he got threatened to hell and back from Kadokawa with lawsuit since the OS is heavily inspired by the Index/Raigun Series

10:18 really? You can get a small used ssd basically for free

Anydesk is 3Mb download, doesn't need to be installed on the system (can work as portable app which runs only when you want it to), and doesnt require you to create an account. Anydesk is perfect for quickly setting up something for helping a friend remotely without having to install anything. Just a click and work solution. Definitely better than many of the other ones.

To be fair to helloSystem (which I'd not heard of), it seems you are very used to popular user interfaces like Windows, GNOME, KDE, etc and had a rough time slowing down to read either the documentation or the menu entries you were flying past. You would have been just as lost in Linux in the 90s, with something like TWM (FVWM got a little friendlier.)

I'd straight up use some of these with the Mario Tennis browser

HelloSystem feels like everything I can't stand about over-confident programmers.

Was hoping this video also covered MenuetOS and it's fork KolibriOS, written completely in assembly.

I really Haiku. I run it as a daily driver on one my older think pads...

Your mike is a real life death star lol.

As a software developer by career, and someone who owns a dozen machines, I was actually offended at the review of helloSystem. Of course it’s not going to work on a VM.

Will SMB allow within windows to open images and files directly from the server? I tried an FTP server, but it does not allow any of this. I want to run some kind home network usb flash drive running a server on an old android device

ToaruOS is really interesting in its ability to rotate windows to any angle and everything still displays properly in them. I wonder how that was accomplished. BTW, how long did it take to build Serenity OS?

Side note, longer hair looks nice on you

plan 9 not mentioned :c

u actually wrote a haiku for the haiku part :0

It is almost like Apple doesn't want you to use anything else 😂

I've seen that screen resolution thing from helloSystem before, I think in Bohdi Linux? or Kubuntu.

No Ubuntu?

RedoxOS's icons look a lot like Linux Mint's icons. But I like that they're (at least partially) Linux-compatible, which probably makes it about as daily-driveable as Haiku.

2:46 Wow. That was the first time a "Please subscribe" in the first video I watched of someone actually made me subscribe. I usually discover channels by watching their videos for months without subscribing and then when I'm 100% sure I want that content reliably as soon as it comes out I subscribe.

It seems like a lot of the people in this sort of community have not used a modern Mac for more than a few minutes, which is fine, unless you want to try and talk about the pros and cons of Mac OS. And, like helloSystem has none of the, uh, whatever the UI equivalent of syntactic sugar is that Mac OS has, while maintaining the overfocus on simplicity and intuitiveness that can simply result in a hard-to-use system. And, like, actual Mac OS doesn't suffer nearly as badly from the oversimplified UI.

I'm surprised Plan 9 didn't get a mention

24:40 It's so impressive that I personally forgive it for appropriately referencing the word とある in its name

Another one to consider is No Machine, and with Real VNC tanking it's free version, no machine is looking even better. I run it on my pi and my Mac server, I can choose from multiple protocols to launch from, it supports keys, and can run on multiple ports. It also has a surprisingly usable mobile interface. It's well documented and while it has enterprise versions it is a very open community and fully featured for free. It also has tons of display modes. There's ways to securely directly access from the Internet. Though I opted for a CF Tunnel which has my LAN on it as a private network. Paired with WARP it's essentially like being home. CF Tunnels and WARP are their own amazing rabbithole that don't get nearly enough coverage IMO.

Sounds like the Toaru creator has burnout, a new job or kids

Thanks for putting the names in the timestamps. also is Minix popular or nah?

I love nerds who still use can it run Doom as a standard 😂 this traditional should never die, though we may want to create some higher stakes benchmarks at some point.

No TempleOS? God loves elephants!

These operating systems prove free Open Source products are incapable of innovation.
