Mum Tries Out Kubuntu 24.10 (2024)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed seeing KDE 1.1.2 from 1999 last time in Arix. This time around she tried out KDE Plasma 6.1 from 2024 :)

[@LoganT547]

I switched from Arch recently back to Kubuntu because of the instability. I like Arch, sure, but it got annoying fixing everything all the time. Plasma nowadays is really cool with lots of great features

[@ConclusiveLion663]

This is the closest we have come with windows 98 in 2025

[@someidiot4311]

i was really thrilled to see my suggestion in my notifications

[@TeleviseGuy]

12 years ago, Diana tried Kubuntu 12.10 12 YEARS. That's insane.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Yeah, it's been a while so I thought it would be ok for her to try the latest, especially since the original was a shaky cam video :P

[@vicr123]

I miss the bouncy ball from back then

[@World_of_OSes]

Remember the Diana Perfect Operating System? That was Arch Linux with KDE.

[@someidiot4311]

still her arch enemy though

[@j4eni]

Just passed my maths exam and this is peak relaxation now :)

[@TheBlueAngryBirds]

Congratulations 🎉

[@markusTegelane]

nice

[@OsFirstTimer]

Awesome, I know that feeling :D Enjoy your period of relaxation now :)

Ive been watching this channel for 11 years ( my account was created since i got a new email and my old gmail got hacked ) and i never got bored

[@OsFirstTimer]

If the recent OSFirstTimer overload has kept everyone entertained, then that's awesome to hear :)

[@rohankhatri3226]

I'm hoping you guys do a Seoul vlog just like the New Zealand one. I'm eager to watch it on OSFTVlogs. I love the vlogs you do, and funnily enough, those are the only vlogs that I've ever watched XD.

[@andreiamalitei]

After trying out KDE 1.1.2, this is a nice sequel of sort

[@OsFirstTimer]

Yeah, it just felt like the perfect follow up.

[@animerror]

Hello Phill, yet I'm early again lol I remember i was running kUbuntu 18.04 on my celeron laptop back in 2021 and it was surprisingly fast. Nice video!

[@mdmusic]

Exactly what I needed before bed :)

[@AtanasijTopevski]

A osft upload during the time I'm awake!

[@tyson2283]

5:37 hopefully this means we will get another holiday video on your Vlog channel?

[@TheYellowPolarBear]

Fingers crossed

[@raidev_]

As a greek who can interprate the document Diana wrote, she wrote: Yfdisyififfthiyfifthifmffifthf dkisif fngthgnthf (and it continues like this for another few lines)

[@TheBlueAngryBirds]

Im surprised diana hasn't tried out any windows 8 beta versions yet Great video though ❤

[@lightbrownwolf]

thatd actually be really cool

[@OsFirstTimer]

I think the early build of windows 8 that still had a start button would be kind of cool... Still considering it though :P

[@Randi_MyMan]

@@OsFirstTimer try build 7997, almost 8000, that will trigger something in her

[@TheBlueAngryBirds]

​@@Randi_MyMan He could also show whistler history, similar to what they did with longhorn

[@SolomonSword]

Oh wow so the OS's Diana checked out in the past will be checked out again with newer versions?

[@OsFirstTimer]

A small few of them, especially if they are still popular today and filmed during the shaky cam era.

[@realtuxi]

You can actually just start typing in stuff like "3*6+2" or "3 meters to feet" while you're on the desktop 🙂

[@OsFirstTimer]

Oh cool, never knew that!

[@Everything.Windows]

The real definition of too much browsers lol, I hope the RAM is okay haha

[@OsFirstTimer]

I know right... And she wanted to fill the other side with chrome browsers :P

[@KoenDoesThings]

I wake up 6 minutes after this came out yay

[@UsuallyLime]

The Ubuntu video did well in terms of views, so hoping this one does even better!

[@OsFirstTimer]

The entire last month has been a struggle with views, I'm hoping we get some more viewers soon so more people can enjoy our videos :)

[@LeeZhiWei8219]

Exactly 12 years ago from Kubuntu 12.10 video! Xubuntu next? 😂 Great video!

[@Cart1416]

so we are trying every variant of ubuntu now? you should try ubuntu unity next. my favorite Linux distro is debian 12 with kde plasma

[@OsFirstTimer]

I might give ubuntu variants a pause for now, mostly did this one as a follow up to Arix. KDE Neon was going to be featured instead of Kubuntu, however, due to major black screen issues in VMWare after installation, I went with Kubuntu instead.

[@Cart1416]

@OsFirstTimer I used kde neon before switching to debian on my new ssd.

[@JessicaFEREM]

missed the chance for the outro to say something like "but we're all out of time for now, see you in the next episode" LMAOO

[@vicr123]

I personally feel like the mormo document is hard to beat :)

[@anianii]

3:00 Well, you could actually name it with those "symbols". You'd just need to change the keyboard layout to Greek. Those "symbols" are Greek letters

[@OsFirstTimer]

Oh wow, never knew that :O Thanks for letting me know :)

[@Jimiscool88]

3:20 The document translates from Greek to English as: Gfdhsgihdghfhgffdhgfdhgfhfm ffhfdf dkhshf fngfhfdgndf fhdffghdfkhg fhkgfhdffgh fdfhgfdfh fdfgfdfhfkbh fdfhgndffg fghfdfhgkf ,sdfhgsf 3:44 i've made Diana's wish come true!

[@andreiamalitei]

Why did you translate ήτα (η) as h?

[@Jimiscool88]

@@andreiamalitei cuz there is no ητα in english and she probably pressed h for η to appear

[@cameronbosch1213]

Hey, the outro music video link in the description is not available anymore...

[@lightbrownwolf]

BOSDT also, if you are actually going to seoul, i hope theres a vlog!

[@OsFirstTimer]

There will be, but I'm worried OSFirstTimer will go down for a month as a result of the holiday + editing time for that massive video.

[@lightbrownwolf]

@OsFirstTimer you could try and make a bunch of smaller videos and schedule them to be spaced out in the time you will be there and the time you will be editing the footage?

[@alex_wii]

I think Diana likes Firefox. I'm not sure, tho

[@Bananenmann]

A lot of Firefox Browsers😅

[@SqueakySqueak]

That's a lot of bars!

[@ngspace9829]

Correction: Since 2017 Ubuntu dropped the Unity desktop environment in favor of Gnome, there is "Ubuntu unity" tho which poses the same status as kubuntu.

[@someidiot4311]

you should try the KDEs you havent tried yet on old debians. you tried kde 4 back in 2013 with the arch linux video but thats been a while

[@MySpeed12]

That mouse click is satisfying 🤤 also, did mum try windows NT 5.0 with the 15 second startup sound 😅 already?

[@Artom14]

This is kinda ironic to me because i just installed KDE on Ubuntu yesterday (i was bored of gnome)

[@icegep]

[@salmanrasyid4344]

Yeah A new osfirsttimer video

[@TouchcreatorYT]

mom, osfirsttimer posted!

[@AlfieLikesComputers]

16:47 Well you can do this on windows (not 11) by unlocking the taskbar and moving it to the side? Honestly Microsoft removing such useful features is the reason why many people are actually giving Linux a go or buying mac hardware

[@acidiclight]

It feels weird seeing KDE Plasma on peoples' systems, knowing my own code is buried deep in the window manager.

[@someidiot4311]

thats cool! what did you contribute?

[@OsFirstTimer]

Oh, cool! So what does your code do? Like a feature or stability etc? It's always cool to have developers comment on our videos :)

[@acidiclight]

@@OsFirstTimer I'm legally blind and rely on the zoom feature. I found a bug with how it tracks the mouse when you have more than one monitor. It had been a big since KDE 4 but I found it in 5.27. I ended up rewriting how it handles screen edges. It wasn't a perfect fix and some layouts break it. But it got shipped in 6.0 and refined a bit in 6.1.

[@OsFirstTimer]

@@acidiclight Oh that's awesome, thanks for telling the story of what you developed :) Edit: Oh, I remember you! Good on you for getting into linux development.
