One side of linux KZbin pulls out a gun and the other pulls out a maid costume. I think we're on the right side, until someone does both. Seriously though your tutorials are actually enjoyable and made me try to go Gentoo :3 yet have to see a desktop :c

This channel perfectly encapsulates the feeling of hanging out on a tech-related IRC channel in the late 00s/early 2010s. I love it.

[@kenziewebm]

the reason why openrc uses weird syntax for rc-service is that services can have custom actions so, with systemd, you have only start, stop, restart while openrc, a service `catgirl` can have a function `meow`, and you run `rc-service catgirl meow` and it makes the catgirl meow

2:20 The capacitor might be fixable, if it didn't damage anything from being shorted or blowing up. Depending on how deep that charring is the rest of the board might be totally fine.

Found your channel through your Arch on Pentium II vid, and I gotta say, your channel is WAY too underrated! Excellent, fun, informative, and very entertaining. Fuckin mint stuff, for real. Love the effort!

[@JaredSchmidt]

Easily one of the best videos you've done. Masterpiece! And a fantastic journey. Thank you! Also, it's totally your fault that I have 30-some tabs open, looking at the arm64 Apple Silicon build process. The Pentium install was neat, if not crazy, but this G4 install video is glorious. Bravo. 👏🏻

You know how to install Gentoo AND boil hard drives?!?! You've got yourself a new subscriber. Definitely going to use this video as a guide when I install Gentoo on my next computer.

[@SonicBoone56]

I wanted to do stuff like this in college a few years ago. PowerPC Mac running Linux, fem attire, and programmer socks. Turns out PPC Macs are expensive and I waited too long to come out as enby. Plus my hair started thinning before I started growing it out. At least I got $40 worth of thigh high socks tho.

I am also currently installing Gentoo, but from an install script because I don't wanna screw up the 9th time after having 8 failed attempts at it.

[@tdogmc1]

Never thought someone could so nice and chill while installing gentoo. Great video.

[@bundo-san]

👍This was a lot of fun to watch. I've never looked in Gentoo before, but I've seen the memes. I thought Arch wasn't user-friendly enough, but this takes the cake (aside from Linux from scratch, of course).

[@thelovertunisia]

with the sleep light being used as a hdr light this is only for powerpc macs because it does not happen on my 2007 white macbook.

hi. I clicked because of the maid outfit and the powerpc mac and then remembered who you were. good video. re capacitors exploding: I really despise how computer just age and die over time even with no use. it's so disparaging, as someone with a lot of old computers myself. thankfully, all of it's working still. - citrons

6:45 Laughs in 20W server with CD&DVD burner. Only requires DDing over SSH, which I haven't done before, what could possibly go wrong?

[@Mekelaina]

I actually happened to come across an ibook g4 recently (in good physical shape but unknown working order. Currently waiting for a charger i ordered to see if it powers on.) I hope to be able to get it running and this video is a big help! Edit: the iBook works! At least in so far as being able to power on and post. Gonna have to replace the HDD and battery eventually.

I myself actually daily drived Gentoo Linux a little bit in 2022 on the computer that I used to have Windows 7 on until I decided to switch to another Linux Distro. I currently run Arch Linux on my Windows 7 PC and myself did a fine amount of distro hopping before I made my final choice on Arch!

[@NathanDarkson984]

I can imagine fucking up ONE COMMANDLINE whilst in the process of installing Gentoo...you'd pull your hair out in frustration, especially when it's on a iBook (PPC) cuz that isn't something I would ever do. Points for your bravery on installing a linux distro that I absolutely have a distaste for on a PowerPC architecture :)))

I'm seriously enjoying this. Definitely worth subscribing,

[@windowsagent981]

Next try to install X lol

[@windowsagent981]

Maybe you could use distcc

[@TetrisMaster512]

I wonder if there's some kind of black magic you could invoke to use distcc to call out to ppc32 cross-compilers on significantly more powerful machines. Honestly, any kind of source-based distro on mid-00s hardware sounds like a special kind of hell to me. Gives me flashbacks to building an LFS system on a single-core ARM board like a decade ago. Fortunately I was able to cross-compile a good chunk of the rootfs (sparing myself from compiling the kernel and GCC directly on-board), but for a lot of stuff I ended up using pkgsrc in the LFS system itself to cut down on manual dependency management. I think Xorg alone took an entire day to compile.

[@deanrose5676]

I miss my Powermac G4 digital audio. I got it at a second hand store, it had a cracked processor and a dead power supply but I used a pc power supply with help from a web page and had it working for about 4 - 5 months. the graphics and easy access to the motherboard were what kept me using it, but it died after a thunderstorm.

[@Solinaru]

Is there a green apple sharpie flavor? Otherwise I'm just going to pick the one with copper flakes

[@davidturcotte831]

You should be able to use the "time" command to time how long any given command takes to complete. But, your date command idea was creative.

[@nickdance965]

my favourite sharpie marker is the purple one :3

[@DistrosProjects]

Just watching through the video and the way you’re setting up the disk makes me physically cringe LOL. GRUB needs *megabytes* of space to install correctly haha. Great video so far!

[@kungfujesus06]

Ooof LTO on PowerPC would probably be rough. It would eat through your memory budget pretty quickly, too.

[@ux1historian]

the greatest video in the history of youtube

[@alexspeegle2758]

I agree, Lavender is clearly the best sharpie flavor.

51:37 passwdqc can be disabled by puting a file (name doesn't matter AFAIK) in /etc/portage/package.use containing "sys-auth/pambase -passwdqc"

[@fenixlolnope361]

Okay so I found out that there's a way to make gentoo use distcc for compiling but I don't know anything about making it *cross-compile* if I could do that I could just spin up a VM on my i7 box, maybe even an emulated G4 with 16 cores, and install gentoo in hyperdrive mode.. well, compared to the G4 anyways. But that makes me wonder if I could just make an image there and just transfer it to my G4.. I wanna be as cool as you one day

2:56 heh heh Noice video !!! Also very cute

[@squirrelarmor]

I have a friend who used to run Gentoo and distcc on every machine in his house (after converting the wife, mother in law and grandmother to Gentoo). At the beginning of this video I was like 'yeah I'll check out gentoo on my new budget Chinese 12700h laptop' and then like 58 min in I was like "Uhhh.... Debian and FreeBSD are fine. I'm good." =) Thank you for sharing, love the video. (I can get the machine to 90°C if I use -j 16 on this chip, 99°C->throttle->rinse->repeat with -j 20) Also I have a powermac 400/1gb/2x80gb/3xgbe that I was using for ipmasq to segment our tech room from the company lan and to add a bridgemaxx backhaul for no good reason. I think it's running yellowdog. I can't log into it to save my life. If you want it it's yours. Protip: just grab the neofetch bash script from the git and run it. It has no dependencies other than bash.

[@1999ba7b1999ba7b]

babe wake up, our favorite cat maid posted a video on gentowo

[@tylerdean980]

Could you do a tutorial on how to set up distcc so compiling gentoo on older computers isn’t so ass

[@sokoloft3]

I slightly miss the iBook G4 that came into my possession. Didn't keep it, had no use for it then. I used one my first year of middle school then we moved onto the intel ones. However the school still had tons of G4's and you'd get one if your intel mac had an issue and it was SLOW. I think they upgraded them to leopard but not sure. Love those era of macs though since it was my first extensive use of computers and the internet. I'd vamp my neighbors internet and play runescape all night on those laptops lol. Talking with my friends over the phone while we played. Also, black sharpie?

[@DistrosProjects]
