(Ad Free) Can a Pentium 1 Run MODERN Desktop Linux?

Once again, I'd love your feedback on the new editing! Your feedback last time was enormously helpful. Also, Tiny Core Linux is magic.

I’m finding the editing really distracting and disorienting. Far too much use of fake wobbling and crash zooms, really need to chill out.

2025-11-10 08:06:19 +0000 UTCi loved the length of this video, felt like there was enough time to fully explore the machine. but i do kind of find all the flashy text popups at the start a bit much. maybe a more discrete, smaller overlay with the machine specs while its being introduced would be worth looking into

2025-11-08 19:46:52 +0000 UTCI like the editing on this, it feels much closer to your usual style but with a bit of extra “bling”. I’m still not a fan of some of the extra effects, e.g the “swoosh” sound effect and the typing sound when text appears on screen; I can’t articulate exactly why, but they’re just a bit distracting to me. On the other side I miss the little “bonk” text you’d sometimes add in when you patted a machine’s case, that always made me chuckle. Loved the video though and if having an editor lets you spend more time with your poorly kitty then that’s a bonus!

2025-11-08 19:16:07 +0000 UTCOnce I saw this I had to try it for myself. I got mine working on a AMD K6-2 450 machine with 256mb of ram. Nowhere near as impressive as a Pentium 133 but it ran surprisingly smooth. Firefox gave me an illegal instruction when I tried to install it lol. Maybe try tiny core on a 486 class machine? Like a DX 66?

2025-11-08 16:13:25 +0000 UTCOther than the weird fuzzy filter on the system early on, I liked the rest of the new format. Maybe because it's tough on my eyes when things go out of focus. So how about maybe making it just glow or something like that that doesn't go out of focus? As for the content - ah, Packard Hell. When you couldn't afford the best and you couldn't/didn't want to build it yourself. Perfectly decent machines for the money, but what a weird case on that one (they seemed to do that a lot). Amazing you got it running as well as you did, a testament to TinyCore. I think the most interesting to me though was that floppy boot loader - I saw it could do IDE/CD/floppy, but can it do SCSI (or be modified to do it)?

2025-11-08 12:52:25 +0000 UTCI would still prefer running DOS or Win95 on a P1 just for compatibility. But the fact you can run modern Linux on a system like this is indeed just... mind blowing. And yeah the new editor is growing on me. I love the energy he adds.

2025-11-08 04:46:50 +0000 UTCThe new editing is very good and matches your style well. I feel like the editing is accentuating what my brain is already thinking so it’s a very complementary experience.
