Okay, so the sounds, the the the visuals, it's all sounds, the the the visuals, it's all sounds, the the the visuals, it's all here, but it is still Linux supposedly. here, but it is still Linux supposedly. here, but it is still Linux supposedly. So let's just open our terminal here. So let's just open our terminal here. So let's just open our terminal here. Yeah, here we go. So we have our Windows Yeah, here we go. So we have our Windows Yeah, here we go. So we have our Windows terminal, but it has the Linux file terminal, but it has the Linux file terminal, but it has the Linux file system. So if I do if I go to root, then system. So if I do if I go to root, then system. So if I do if I go to root, then we just have our normal Unix file system we just have our normal Unix file system we just have our normal Unix file system here, but I'm actually running it in here, but I'm actually running it in here, but I'm actually running it in Windows 95. Well, it's not actually Windows 95. Well, it's not actually Windows 95. Well, it's not actually Windows 95, but it looks like Windows Windows 95, but it looks like Windows Windows 95, but it looks like Windows 95. Oh, I'm loving this so much already. 95. Oh, I'm loving this so much already. 95. Oh, I'm loving this so much already. Okay. So, let's close the terminal Okay. So, let's close the terminal Okay. So, let's close the terminal emulator. Let's see if we can navigate emulator. Let's see if we can navigate emulator. Let's see if we can navigate our settings here.

our settings here. our settings here. Settings. Display. That's it. Okay. So, Settings. Display. That's it. Okay. So, Settings. Display. That's it. Okay. So, we're at 800* we're at 800* we're at 800* 600. So, let's bring that 600. So, let's bring that 600. So, let's bring that up. Well, no, not to 2K. Uh, let's bring up. Well, no, not to 2K. Uh, let's bring up. Well, no, not to 2K. Uh, let's bring that up a notch. Apply. Yeah. Okay. So, that up a notch. Apply. Yeah. Okay. So, that up a notch. Apply. Yeah. Okay. So, this looks a little bit better. Like I'm this looks a little bit better. Like I'm this looks a little bit better. Like I'm not going to do full HD, but now we have not going to do full HD, but now we have not going to do full HD, but now we have some better proportions here. Okay, so some better proportions here. Okay, so some better proportions here. Okay, so let what what are we going to do? What? let what what are we going to do? What? let what what are we going to do? What? This is so much fun. So, let's just try This is so much fun. So, let's just try This is so much fun. So, let's just try out the web out the web out the web [Music] browser. I hope this this sound came browser. I hope this this sound came through when I when I started this. through when I when I started this. through when I when I started this. Okay. And let's try. No, no, not let's Okay. And let's try. No, no, not let's Okay. And let's try. No, no, not let's not do it. And let's see not do it. And let's see not do it. And let's see [Music] if Windows 95. I was 5 years old at this if Windows 95. I was 5 years old at this point. And this is also when the first point. And this is also when the first point. And this is also when the first computers were starting to be get common computers were starting to be get common computers were starting to be get common at least in the Netherlands. So when I at least in the Netherlands. So when I at least in the Netherlands. So when I was five years old, I was actually using was five years old, I was actually using was five years old, I was actually using Windows 95 as a kid. I was actually Windows 95 as a kid. I was actually Windows 95 as a kid. I was actually doing doing doing um using paint all the time and to like um using paint all the time and to like um using paint all the time and to like color and create things and I would play color and create things and I would play color and create things and I would play games on here as well. So this feels so games on here as well. So this feels so games on here as well. So this feels so familiar to me. It feels so like these familiar to me. It feels so like these familiar to me. It feels so like these these visuals it is it is resonating a

these visuals it is it is resonating a these visuals it is it is resonating a lot with me again. So but it's it's a lot with me again. So but it's it's a lot with me again. So but it's it's a fullyfledged web browser. Look, I don't fullyfledged web browser. Look, I don't fullyfledged web browser. Look, I don't even know what browser this is. It's even know what browser this is. It's even know what browser this is. It's pale moon. I have no idea what that pale moon. I have no idea what that pale moon. I have no idea what that actually is. So, let's just Google that. actually is. So, let's just Google that. actually is. So, let's just Google that. Let's just Let's just Let's just try. Okay. Pale moon browser. Let's just try. Okay. Pale moon browser. Let's just try. Okay. Pale moon browser. Let's just check out what that is about. The Pale check out what that is about. The Pale check out what that is about. The Pale Moon Moon Moon project. It's an open-source Guana based project. It's an open-source Guana based project. It's an open-source Guana based web browser available for various web browser available for various web browser available for various operating systems including W. Okay. So, operating systems including W. Okay. So, operating systems including W. Okay. So, I had no idea this existed. So, this is I had no idea this existed. So, this is I had no idea this existed. So, this is a very retro looking browser and it has a very retro looking browser and it has a very retro looking browser and it has these Windows icons on the top here as these Windows icons on the top here as these Windows icons on the top here as well. But do we also have Firefox for well. But do we also have Firefox for well. But do we also have Firefox for example? No, it doesn't. Okay. So, we we example? No, it doesn't. Okay. So, we we example? No, it doesn't. Okay. So, we we can browse the web. We can go to YouTube can browse the web. We can go to YouTube can browse the web. We can go to YouTube even. Let me see. Let's search for even. Let me see. Let's search for even. Let me see. Let's search for Linux. Let's just see if if videos are Linux. Let's just see if if videos are Linux. Let's just see if if videos are going to be working in this browser. going to be working in this browser. going to be working in this browser. Full Linux course.

Full Linux course. Full Linux course. Sentry just rolled out uptime Sentry just rolled out uptime Sentry just rolled out uptime monitoring. I'm going to take it for a monitoring. I'm going to take it for a monitoring. I'm going to take it for a spin and show you how it works. To get spin and show you how it works. To get spin and show you how it works. To get started, we'll jump into alerts. No. So, started, we'll jump into alerts. No. So, started, we'll jump into alerts. No. So, that was an ad, but it I can definitely that was an ad, but it I can definitely that was an ad, but it I can definitely watch videos here apparently. So, okay, watch videos here apparently. So, okay, watch videos here apparently. So, okay, I can browse the web. I can I can do I can browse the web. I can I can do I can browse the web. I can I can do that. So, let's let's do something that. So, let's let's do something that. So, let's let's do something different then. So, I'm a Neovim user of different then. So, I'm a Neovim user of different then. So, I'm a Neovim user of course. So, let's just try if we can course. So, let's just try if we can course. So, let's just try if we can install install install Neoim. So which Vim user bin Vim is Neoim. So which Vim user bin Vim is Neoim. So which Vim user bin Vim is here? here? here? Which Neo Which Neo Which Neo Vim? Neovim is is Neovim already here? Vim? Neovim is is Neovim already here? Vim? Neovim is is Neovim already here? Envim. Yes, Nvim is already here. Oh my Envim. Yes, Nvim is already here. Oh my Envim. Yes, Nvim is already here. Oh my god. Okay. So that's god. Okay. So that's god. Okay. So that's interesting. So let's check out let's interesting. So let's check out let's interesting. So let's check out let's see if we can then install Lazy Vim then see if we can then install Lazy Vim then see if we can then install Lazy Vim then from our browser. So Lazy Vim here. from our browser. So Lazy Vim here. from our browser. So Lazy Vim here. Getting started. Getting started. Getting started. and let's check it out. So, and let's check it out. So, and let's check it out. So, installation clone the starter. Here we go. Git is already starter. Here we go. Git is already installed. So, if I now do NVIM, then installed. So, if I now do NVIM, then installed. So, if I now do NVIM, then Lazy Vim is going to set itself up.

Lazy Vim is going to set itself up. Lazy Vim is going to set itself up. Okay, looking Okay, looking Okay, looking good. Wow, this is amazing. So I could good. Wow, this is amazing. So I could good. Wow, this is amazing. So I could actually have a fully functional Linux actually have a fully functional Linux actually have a fully functional Linux environment with Windows 95 with Windows 95 uh appearances and I 95 with Windows 95 uh appearances and I can this is just a fully functional can this is just a fully functional can this is just a fully functional terminal look. And if I have T-Mox if I terminal look. And if I have T-Mox if I terminal look. And if I have T-Mox if I so if I would go here if I have NVIM so if I would go here if I have NVIM so if I would go here if I have NVIM open here and here I would have wow it open here and here I would have wow it open here and here I would have wow it even has BTOP installed. Wow. Okay. So, even has BTOP installed. Wow. Okay. So, even has BTOP installed. Wow. Okay. So, this is looking very promising. I I this is looking very promising. I I this is looking very promising. I I mean, imagine showing up to work with mean, imagine showing up to work with mean, imagine showing up to work with your laptop and you're running and your laptop and you're running and your laptop and you're running and you're running this. I mean, oh my god, you're running this. I mean, oh my god, you're running this. I mean, oh my god, how cool would that how cool would that how cool would that [Music] [Music] [Music] be? I'm having so much fun. Okay, so be? I'm having so much fun. Okay, so be? I'm having so much fun. Okay, so graphics. Let's see if we have paint. graphics. Let's see if we have paint. graphics. Let's see if we have paint. Windows Windows Windows paint. No, we don't have paint. That's paint. No, we don't have paint. That's paint. No, we don't have paint. That's That's a bummer. Okay. Uh I was I was That's a bummer. Okay. Uh I was I was That's a bummer. Okay. Uh I was I was really hoping for that. But we do have really hoping for that. But we do have really hoping for that. But we do have Inkscape though. Okay. So this is then a Inkscape though. Okay. So this is then a Inkscape though. Okay. So this is then a a Linux program that is then using a Linux program that is then using a Linux program that is then using Paint. So it's not the old Paint. That's Paint. So it's not the old Paint. That's Paint. So it's not the old Paint. That's a real shame. That would be really cool a real shame. That would be really cool a real shame. That would be really cool to have a port of the oldfashioned paint to have a port of the oldfashioned paint to have a port of the oldfashioned paint in here. Um so next thing we have our in here. Um so next thing we have our in here. Um so next thing we have our terminal. We have Lazy terminal. We have Lazy terminal. We have Lazy Vim. What what else can we do? So here Vim. What what else can we do? So here Vim. What what else can we do? So here is something. Let's check out the

is something. Let's check out the is something. Let's check out the programs that that come with it. So, we programs that that come with it. So, we programs that that come with it. So, we have this this really cool old style have this this really cool old style have this this really cool old style accessories. Um, here we have mouse pad. accessories. Um, here we have mouse pad. accessories. Um, here we have mouse pad. Neovim. Let's see. Mouse pad. What is Neovim. Let's see. Mouse pad. What is Neovim. Let's see. Mouse pad. What is that? Look at that. That's the exact that? Look at that. That's the exact that? Look at that. That's the exact same old notepad with the with the same old notepad with the with the same old notepad with the with the old styling and everything. Oh, this it old styling and everything.

Well, there you go. That's how good I am at that game. go. That's how good I am at that game. go. That's how good I am at that game. So, we have Mind So, we have Mind So, we have Mind Sweeper. What do we have? Sweeper. What do we have? Sweeper. What do we have? Audacious. Wow. Is that Is that the Win Audacious. Wow. Is that Is that the Win Audacious. Wow. Is that Is that the Win Amp logo? Do we have Win Amp Amp logo? Do we have Win Amp Amp logo? Do we have Win Amp here?

Seriously, like I'm having nostalgic Seriously, like I'm having nostalgic overload here. Look at that. We even overload here. Look at that. We even overload here. Look at that. We even have win have win have win amp. How cool is that? And it even comes amp. How cool is that? And it even comes amp. How cool is that? And it even comes with a with an with a with an with a with an [Music] MP3, guys. MP3, guys. I like I'm I I think I'm going to switch I like I'm I I think I'm going to switch I like I'm I I think I'm going to switch to this. to this. to this. Like how about daily driving this? How Like how about daily driving this? How Like how about daily driving this? How cool would that be? This is so awesome. cool would that be? This is so awesome. cool would that be?

Imagine the this environment. Imagine the this environment. Imagine the reactions. This is so cool. reactions. This is so cool. reactions. This is so cool. Okay, so we have this we have all of we Okay, so we have this we have all of we Okay, so we have this we have all of we have our win amp. So if I would have have our win amp. So if I would have have our win amp. So if I would have some music, I could have this playing some music, I could have this playing some music, I could have this playing here and still have my win amp here and still have my win amp here and still have my win amp experience. So what does it look like if experience. So what does it look like if experience. So what does it look like if we install a for example VS code so or we install a for example VS code so or we install a for example VS code so or to-d doist or something like that. So to-d doist or something like that. So to-d doist or something like that. So here then I I suppose we are using here then I I suppose we are using here then I I suppose we are using RPM if we can RPM if we can RPM if we can get to-d doist running. Here we go again. Okay. So to-d running. Here we go again. Okay. So to-d doist doist doist Linux to-d doist for Linux to-d doist for Linux to-d doist for Linux. And we can download it using an

Linux. And we can download it using an Linux. And we can download it using an app app app image. Save. And let's see if it will open it And let's see if it will open it directly. No, it won't do that. So, directly. No, it won't do that. So, directly. No, it won't do that. So, let's see. We have our downloads let's see. We have our downloads let's see. We have our downloads directory. And here is our to-do list. directory. And here is our to-do list. directory. And here is our to-do list. So, if I then just to-d doist. Oh, I So, if I then just to-d doist. Oh, I So, if I then just to-d doist. Oh, I probably have tomot exit. Here we go. So, exit. Here we go. So, here to do this won't be able to log in here to do this won't be able to log in here to do this won't be able to log in until you set up desktop integration for until you set up desktop integration for until you set up desktop integration for Okay. Ah, here we go. So, here is our Okay. Ah, here we go. So, here is our Okay. Ah, here we go. So, here is our to-doist and then I will have to log to-doist and then I will have to log to-doist and then I will have to log in. Okay, but that's okay. But at least in. Okay, but that's okay. But at least in. Okay, but that's okay. But at least we we see how how this would we we see how how this would we we see how how this would work. They recommend starting with a work. They recommend starting with a work. They recommend starting with a base image and then reboot rebase that base image and then reboot rebase that base image and then reboot rebase that to a different one. So, this wind blues to a different one. So, this wind blues to a different one. So, this wind blues vox site I already have that downloaded vox site I already have that downloaded vox site I already have that downloaded and I'm going to be using virtual box and I'm going to be using virtual box and I'm going to be using virtual box for this. Nice and easy. I will do a new for this. Nice and easy. I will do a new for this. Nice and easy. I will do a new virtual machine and let's call this virtual machine and let's call this virtual machine and let's call this Windows Windows Windows 95 and for the ISO I am going to use 95 and for the ISO I am going to use 95 and for the ISO I am going to use Voxide base latest ISO that I have Voxide base latest ISO that I have Voxide base latest ISO that I have downloaded. So let me see unattended downloaded. So let me see unattended downloaded. So let me see unattended install. Let me see. I'm just going to install. Let me see. I'm just going to install. Let me see. I'm just going to use this to use this to use this to password like that. Okay. host name

password like that. Okay. host name password like that. Okay. host name Windows 95. Let's do this to Windows 95. Let's do this to Windows 95. Let's do this to Misha or no, let's do Win 95 like that. Misha or no, let's do Win 95 like that. Misha or no, let's do Win 95 like that. Okay, so that should be it. And Okay, so that should be it. And Okay, so that should be it. And um for the hardware, I'm going to give um for the hardware, I'm going to give um for the hardware, I'm going to give it about let's say 8 gigs of it about let's say 8 gigs of it about let's say 8 gigs of memory and four memory and four memory and four CPUs. All right, here we go. So, let's CPUs. All right, here we go. So, let's CPUs. All right, here we go. So, let's finish and start this up. Point it to the ISO again. And here up. Point it to the ISO again. And here we go. So, in for the view, I'm going to we go. So, in for the view, I'm going to we go. So, in for the view, I'm going to have this to scaled have this to scaled have this to scaled switch and switch and switch and install. Let's install install. Let's install install. Let's install Vite. It's going to go straight into the Vite. It's going to go straight into the Vite. It's going to go straight into the install.

Okay, we have a guey installer. This Okay, we have a guey installer. This looks fairly looks fairly looks fairly straightforward. straightforward. straightforward. Just pick our language destination automatic language destination automatic partitioning root account. Let's create partitioning root account. Let's create partitioning root account. Let's create one. I'm going to use a very secret password I'm going to use a very secret password called called called password and for user creation let's do password and for user creation let's do password and for user creation let's do Misha and Misha and Misha and also we go. So let's have then we have a also we go. So let's have then we have a also we go. So let's have then we have a user. So this looks all very familiar user. So this looks all very familiar user. So this looks all very familiar and straightforward. So let's just begin and straightforward. So let's just begin and straightforward. So let's just begin this installation. And now it's just this installation. And now it's just this installation. And now it's just going to create our Linux installation. Okay. So this installation installation. Okay. So this installation is now complete. So I will reboot this is now complete. So I will reboot this is now complete. So I will reboot this and when it is rebooted we can do this and when it is rebooted we can do this and when it is rebooted we can do this rebasing. So what we have installed now rebasing. So what we have installed now rebasing. So what we have installed now is just some it's just a basic Fedora is just some it's just a basic Fedora is just some it's just a basic Fedora image with a graphical interface image with a graphical interface image with a graphical interface apparently. So so this is just a plain apparently. So so this is just a plain apparently. So so this is just a plain Fedora environment where I have my Fedora environment where I have my Fedora environment where I have my terminal and my browser. So now what I terminal and my browser. So now what I terminal and my browser. So now what I can do is I can just copy this command can do is I can just copy this command can do is I can just copy this command from the install guide and enter this in from the install guide and enter this in from the install guide and enter this in my terminal and this should then start installing our Windows 95 then start installing our Windows 95 environment. Okay, so it has quite a few environment. Okay, so it has quite a few environment. Okay, so it has quite a few layers to do. So let's check in a little layers to do. So let's check in a little layers to do. So let's check in a little bit later. Okay, so we have now finished

bit later. Okay, so we have now finished bit later. Okay, so we have now finished our install here. So, I will just reboot our install here. So, I will just reboot our install here. So, I will just reboot the image and when that's done, we the image and when that's done, we the image and when that's done, we should be entering our Windows 95 environment. Well, there you have it. environment. Well, there you have it. So, this is um this has been a lot of So, this is um this has been a lot of So, this is um this has been a lot of fun just to try this out. And I actually fun just to try this out. And I actually fun just to try this out. And I actually I'm actually considering to just keep I'm actually considering to just keep I'm actually considering to just keep this on my system and maybe when I'm this on my system and maybe when I'm this on my system and maybe when I'm doing a video call or something, I will doing a video call or something, I will doing a video call or something, I will just start running or do my coding just start running or do my coding just start running or do my coding inside here. And that's definitely going inside here. And that's definitely going inside here. And that's definitely going to be a fun joke to pull. So, this has to be a fun joke to pull.
