Do you like Slax?) Buy a USB 3.0 Drive 512GB: amzn.to/44UaOnR Buy a Computer Accessories: amzn.to/45iqd2f

[@tomyyoung2624]

Yes EFI environment detected

[@rootcanal7188]

Thanks for the video, but I couldn't get Slax to run on either my 64 bit Netbook, or older 32 bit Netbook. Q4OS worked straight out of the box on the 64 bit Netbook, and 32 bit Antix worked on both Netbooks.

[@ravenandthestranger]

Dude when Slax came out, I used to run that thing off a CD or a 256MB USB drive.

[@AndriyTech]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@bowobigdata7351]

so simple, and your words is easy to undertand. thank you.

[@AndriyTech]

Welcome

[@user-yt6pp2et7u]

A Clear Explaination Of an Awesome OS :) Keep it up buddy 👍❤

[@AndriyTech]

Thanks for watching) You're Welcome)

[@bennguyen1313]

Does the Linux Slax distro come with 'ethtool'? Just looking to do a quick mac address change and installing linux, even on a vm, takes a while and gigs of space. Hoping just a bare live cd that can do ethtool.

[@milkywayandbeyond]

Can the hard drive on the computer be accessed and files saved to it/modified?

[@boots7859]

I've got an old T460 w/I5-6300U and 16GB and looking at Slax if I can get it to work with my new TP-Link S3 802.11AC adapter. There are multiple boot options which allow you to boot as Read-Only, Read-Write/Persistance, and also Load OS entirely to RAM. I'd like to make one USB drive forced to load as Read-Only for banking. While I prefer Mint, Slackware/Slax is great as its pulled a lot of the server stuff out that I'll never use, and should make for a really quick, responsive machine even on this old 2016 model.

[@rootcanal7188]

How do you make a USB read-only?

[@paidoclock]

Hey this video is great, I was just thinking about something like this. Is it possible to find an OS that is so small that all it does is mirror an external display through usbcam input? Like a lapdock that just mirrors a screen? Thanks 🙏

[@AndriyTech]

Hello) So far I do not know such an OS, but I will try to find one if it exists.

[@md.amirulislam7077]

Is there any os that has nothing to do but run a single browser only? Bcz i had used kali live persistence on usb and it was horribly laggy

[@lalithnani]

Thank you ❤

[@AndriyTech]

You're welcome 😊

[@martinwashington3152]

Been around for years it was amazing when base upon the original slackware :D Deb & Ian is it now?

[@AndriyTech]

So, most likely, Slax was initially based on slackware, and from this came the name Slax) Sorry, but I didn't fully understand your question)

[@djrocky5809]

Please send me the video of installing this OS on hard drive

[@hirudevs]

I have the same processor as you The Intel i3 3rd Gen :,) But ITS FAST... Great Video.

[@AndriyTech]

Cool, thanks!

[@asifali462]

Will you provide info about install more application like some recovery or disk tools so we can use this OS as a life saver for our machine.

[@AndriyTech]

Interesting idea, but I need to find such programs first and test whether they will work correctly. For example, I could not install all programs on this OS, but I showed only those that work stably (Telegram, Flameshot) When I have time, I will try to test other programs

[@asifali462]

@@AndriyTech there is no need to search about bundle of applications, 1 or 2 apps will be enough. May be linux based applications will capable for slax

[@Cooking-ng-INAmo]

My professor in college (2008) teach us about this. We use 128mb to 512mb ,1gb(for rich classmates) flashdisk hahaha

[@mediocreape]

well made video, thnaks.

For performance on an old potato, this even rivals Puppy for the casual user

[@PRFECT11]

hey how can i fix my termminal download speeds, it took forver to actually download the chromium application and the problem is not with my network , how can i fix this

[@AndriyTech]

Are you sure you are connected to the Internet?

[@pierpig7058]

Very cool, does it supports applications for video editing like OBS? Is it possible to save the changes to restart the pc with the application installed?

[@AndriyTech]

Hello, this OS supports only basic programs (practically the ones I showed in the video). At least I couldn't install many other software. But it's great for working in a browser. Programs and files are saved if you managed to install them. I did not install OBS

[@LamaGamerTamil]

Bro wifi is not available in my slax os

[@peterkozar7010]

ZDRAVO ? Ali dela tudi če imaš LINUX ?

[@jamesdeen839]

I tried to run Slax on an old ASUS EeePC 1005PX. Therefor I installed the 32bit-Debian-version on the USB-stick. The stick was formated with FAT32. When booting from USB-stick I get the message: "No EFI environment detected. early console in extract_kernel ... Physical KASLR using RDTSC... Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... Performing relocations... done. Booting the kernel." After that the process is hanging. Can you guess what the problem is? Thank you

[@rootcanal7188]

It would not boot on my Asus EeePC either.

[@rootcanal7188]

If your EeePC has a 64 bit processor, Q4OS will run with no problems

[@MBK_Trader]

Can i install this in my laptop hdd not in usb

[@AndriyTech]

It is better to install classic Linux

[@Inteluser_676]

Can any windows os run on USB 2.0 and is light as this os??

[@AndriyTech]

You can try Atlas OS kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYvMfWmderqCq7s

[@RonnieMirands]

Dont know why, in my pendrive doesnt show up FAT32, just exfat :(((

[@hamzahmuhamad1354]

my slax os cant load GUI. it simple boot to comand line and I cannot access gui

[@pjele16]

I am experiencing the same, do you find any solution so far? Thanks

nice video

[@AndriyTech]

Thanks)

[@Developer_Rohit_Choudhary]

can we save the work in it or it is just bootable drive?

[@MoooHamMad]

Boot SLAX, and when you see the clover logo, you have exactly 4 seconds to press ESC and then you will see a little menu. Choose from the menu Persistent Changes and whatever you do inside SLAX will be saved to the drive where SLAX is.

[@martinwashington3152]

Darkstar is still a server name I use allot ;D

[@Mohammed_x]

can you try make a video about hackintosh and what do you think about hackintosh in general 🤔🤔

[@AndriyTech]

I will make a note about this OS. I've heard about it before, but I haven't personally used it

[@bige2899]

7:54 That scared the shit out of me

[@bertvantol9669]

How to install in on the Harddrive ??

[@AndriyTech]

Just connect the hard drive to the PC via the SATA adapter and then do all the same actions as with the flash drive.

[@youtubeonly2866]

Cool but I'm not getting any audio 😕

[@AndriyTech]

Unfortunately, this is the first time I hear about such a problem on Linux Maybe try installing Slax which is based on Slackware

[@user-dy5dw7lz4s]

It not auto login. It requast login name and password. Igive root as a login name toor as a login passwor but not going to welcome sceen whay

[@bassdojo3925]

Agree, same thing on my end.

[@Aeduo]

Knowing google nowadays, when recommending people to find something by searching, you might have to instruct them to be careful not to click any that are ads, since they could be malicious fake downloads made to look like the original site.

[@boots7859]

Got fed-up with Google and tried StartPage. Uses G for the Search but seems to delete all the SEO spam/Sales links that usually take up most of the first page. Also using Firefox.

[@Swanicorn]

I have tried both Debian and Slackware iso but they are not booting, they get stuck on a black screen. I don't even get the clover logo. Both my computers have integrated GPU, no Nvidea. My laptop is T450, so you get the idea.

[@AndriyTech]

That's pity. Unfortunately, I did not have such problems Maybe try on another flash drive

[@joaopaulogomesbernardino746]

same problem bro, any updates?

[@boots7859]

Been trying multiple lightweight Linux distros, and ran across the same on my T460. Far as I can tell, this is likely due to your BIOS set to UEFI vs Legacy/Both. Try changing it in BIOS settings.

I tried it , and I downloaded the 32bit version and copied it to a 2GB USB Drive , it booted fine , when I went to connect it to my Wi-Fi Network it was kinda buggy , but keyboard function keys worked okay , I couldn't download Chromium when I clicked yes it popped up the terminal for a sec then closed without any reason, probably the 32 bit version is kinda useless , I will try the x64 bit version later

So, 64bit work for u?

"To be honest, it's better to install a simple Linux on a PC (ubuntu, Fedora, etc., optimization is better there), the terminal will definitely work better.
