Thanks for doing this tutorial, I have always wanted to have a go at computer programming and projects but never had the guts to do so as I am 61 years old and dyslexic , I have problems spelling IT never mind doing it, but now feel it is time to have a go, so Raspberry Pi added to Christmas wish list.

[@enlightenedfriend3043]

I might get one, good luck with your project, god bless you

[@yobro683]

Good luck!

[@diggee172]

Bless you. Enjoy. Take your time. I’m retiring and I’m getting into this stuff now. Can’t wait

[@leadmanski]

we are never too old to learn

[@SehnsuchtYT]

I hope it went alright!

[@digitalgods5568]

One of the best tutorials I have seen on KZbin in any category. Very nicely done, even down to the speedup indicators on your video! Thanks, this helps quite a bit.

[@boeingpete]

Excellent video. Clear, succinct with no time wasting narrative. Both useful and entertaining. Good job!

[@ialrakis5173]

I just completed a pi hole setup with a raspberry 4 and it was a great project. Not too complicated yet very rewarding.

[@gvhiii]

Dude (and I mean that with great respect) you are the man. I started out back in the 70's with the TRS80 then the TI 99/4a from the I went to the Ohio Scientific unit with the 3 processors (6505 / 6800 / Z80) with a Winchester 74meg hard drive that was bigger than a dell rack mount blade server. I remember the lights dimming when I power it on. Then of course the IBM PC (win95) up to now the Win 10. I've learned programing in all those CPU so when I bought the first Rasp for so reason I was lost nothing seem to work right from download to installing. 67 years old and this You Tube was a great answer to understanding the process. Thank you so much. I'm big into Hydroponics and now I think I can use the Rasp to help with my system. Ordering the Canakit and the Ultimate Starter Kit.

[@glenmorrow]

This video is excellent! You have done a terrific job in explaining something that I personally am new at. Thank you so much and all the best.

[@tteastman4346]

One of the BEST (actually the best) straight forward how to videos I've seen on KZbin. Well done and Ty!

[@BloodScientist]

I bought a Pi at the beginning of the pandemic, but working in healthcare we didn't get to do the whole work from home / take up baking / pick up hobbies. I dug it out today and thought I'd make use of it. Thanks for such a fantastic, detailed video.

[@dashobie]

Great Video you have a way to explain everything to make it extremely understandable.

[@ozricus]

Thank you for putting this video up. I have a much clearer understanding of the raspberry pi now. Love your detailed instructions. Liked and subscribed.

[@mhere4fun1]

I must say, This is the most detailed explanation about raspberry Pi I have seen on KZbin. I was pretty confused about many things in raspberry Pi before watching this video and it has cleared most of my doubts. This is pretty under rated video and every raspberry Pi starter must watch this before u start working. Thanks for detailed explanation.

[@Tubeytime]

HANDS DOWN best intro to Raspi video, you gave me a direction to go in. Thank You!

[@brentgutmann]

I love it that the very first video I watch to understand my new raspberry pi is done by a guy in an mcrn shirt. Well done mariner!

[@terryaucoin4708]

Totally agree! Perfect timing. Right before things start closing. If it wasnt for such a clear walk threw i probably would be still looking for another way to entertain myself. Thanks!

[@ryanqvincent144]

Very useful tutorial about starting with the Raspberry Pi. I am going to get one shortly and this is one of the best introductions about how to 'get going' I have seen. Appreciated.

[@Aepek]

Really enjoy these types of videos you do for us. They are really nifty & appreciate the time it takes you👍🏻. There’s so many things able to do these days, & a vid like this helps those that are just starting. Hope to see some more vids going into more details, as it’s pretty cool👍🏻 Happy New Year ✌🏼

[@williamclark3671]

Yes dude!

[@AWetCARROT1]

Thanks for the explanation man, I plan to check out some of your other videos on the Raspberry Pi when it arrives in a few days! Keep up the good work!

[@Cha0s_Generat0r]

Your teaching style is perfect. Thank you!

[@staninjapan07]

Thanks. Just saw Getting Started With The Raspberry Pi 4 - Use It As A Linux PC by ETA PRIME and that intrigued me so I came here. Had heard nothing of these since the first one yers ago. I am not a tech' savvy user, but I enjoyed your video, and I think it's very cool that people can learn all about this stuff at a relatively very low cost by getting one of these. As someone who uses his computer just to use the 'net and make activities for the classroom with regular office software, one of these would be perfectly enough for me if my current computer died again and could not be brought back to life. The fact that we can now get a computer to plug into our monitor, keyboard and mouse and get set up for so little money and at so low a cost astounds me.

[@nickh3681]

I know this is a couple years after upload, but I just got my raspberry pi and set it up how you did it here and this has been SO helpful. Thank you for this!

[@tg9460]

Thanks. That was so easy to follow. I was confused about it until I ran into your channel. It's great.

[@Theshogunsblade]

Thanks

Wow, Ive watched dozens pi started videos, and this is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thanls

[@MrBigajm]

Thanks for this video. Just bought a Pi4 but it came with no instructions on how to set it up. Watching your video was the perfect guide.

[@jmlocci]

Watched and enjoyed from France. Great tutorial, very clear speech. Thanks Chris...!

Hands down the best Raspberry PI 4 Getting Started video I have seen. Very well put together! Thank you. Subbed!

[@bonynge5]

A brilliant tutorial, thank you. I've had little raspberry pi Element 14 for ages and not done anything with it. Time for this 75 year old to start playing.

[@egotistical_wet_wipes5140]

Literally on week 1 of the CS50 course and already struggling idk what I'm doing here but this just gave me a new insight of what I wanna don in the future and this tutorial was super clear, will definitely come back to it once I have the skills to:)

[@NewAgeDIY]

FYI Picked up a CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB). And it included Samsung EVO+ 64GB MicroSD w/NOOBS. Not sure if you got a old kit or not. Thanks for sharing your ideas Last point. Tell people to put that Pi in its case before plugging everything in. I can’t tell you how many people I know that have blown up there Pi by shorting it out by having A piece of metal touching the backplate. You have a great channel, keep up the good work!

[@MakerMeraki]

There are a ton of Raspberry Pi project videos, but this is the first intro video I've seen. Thank you! I've worked in information security and digital forensics for the last 20+ years, so I'm a technical person, but never knew how to get started until now. I really appreciate this video, and finally have one on order! I can't wait to get started!

[@WSallai]

Chris, this was brilliant! You provided everything someone with absolutely no knowledge of RasberryPi would need to start. Don’t know Python or any other language and am excited about learning that too. Looking forward to seeing what else you have and have subscribed. Thanks from a Nooby.

[@dominickblue6676]

Great introduction and tutorial! Got my Pi up and running in no time!

[@thomasmanson1119]

What did you buy to do this? The video sent me in the completely wrong direction and I probably wasted $150 and still need another $100 of significant parts to operate. Tell me what you acquired to get your pi “up and running in no time”

[@victordobin5918]

Great guide! Just the right pace and simple explanations! You have a talent for it.....Thanks,

[@jentronics3754]

The "servo" you was turning is a potentiometer, a variable resistor. A servo is a device that normally physically controls something and provides feedback. An example would be computer remotely opening/closing a valve in a factory by signalling a servo called a MOV (Motor Operated Valve). The MOV would provide feedback to inform the computer how much the valve is opened. Did enjoy your video; was looking or a video to recommend to a teen interested in the Pi.

[@centre.line.mining55]

yes! been looking all day for a video explaining raspi

[@jamestucker8088]

Excellent video. I really appreciate how professional it is. You fast forward thru the boring parts and the audio is as clear as the video. The view outside your window doesn't look like Los Angeles however.

This was a very informative video, thank you. I don't know if you only deal with networking related stuff with the Rasberry Pi, but I would love to see you show how to set up a Rasberry Pi with an arcade unit. With video game emulators. That is the main reason I am interested in Rasberry Pi.

[@irwingalvarez]

First time coming across this channel and as soon as the video started, IMMEDIATELY I was like, "why is Billy Eichner about to give me the deets on getting started with a Raspberry Pi 4"?

[@briancanfield2968]

Thought so too until I noticed he wasn't shouting the entire time.

[@JasonShowell]

Chris, This was a break from the usual unifi stuff I come here for but was a very good introduction to the pi. I have been using them for various things since the early days but I have no coding skills as such. Would love to see some examples of how you use these to do monitoring or maybe even replacement of cloudkeys etc. Closest I have come to using these for network monitoring was to have one of this display a web page on a monitor from a remote network monitor or weather map. These do make it very easy to have 16 monitors on the wall watching a large corporate network. Thanks for the video.

[@Davincibeats93]

Wow I don’t comment much on KZbin but this deserves a standing ovation 👏

[@umarfarooq8186]

You don't know how much this helped me! Thank you so much!

Fwiw the servo thingy is a pot or potentiometer :) Iirc apt arguments are mostly the same little lazier than typing apt-get.

Hello, there is one big moment, because of which I spent few days trying to make it work: if you have SD card with size more then 32 gb, SD card Formatter tool will format it as exFAT, but Raspberry can understand just FAT32/FAT16. When you download NOOBs, there is READ ME, there is provided instruction for case when SD card is over 32 GB size. Please, please, please tell us more about the way you use Raspberry pi as monitoring tool for your /clients network.
