Thank you for doing this channel! Spreading the word about Linux is my main mission. :)
Logan uploads the camera recording of this video in 1080p, but had the monitor on native 2160p and NOT zoomed in so that others with a 1440p or worst resolution monitor could enjoy the fact that all of the text he showed was virtually UNreadable.
-_-
Yes, I was just about to say the same thing.
Why not record in 1080?
He should have zoomed in Chrome during the recording.. (Ctrl+Scroll)
He was in-home streaming through Steam.
It was perfectly fine to read, what are you on about?
1:20 Hold on, I have a microscope somewhere around here
Jesus I know right
"I've ruined it", lol, every linux user ever has said that.
I'm just happy to hear Logan talk again.
You should lower your resolution when recording so we can read the text easier.
After a fresh install of Linux (usually Arch) on a desktop, I install Nemo(filemanager), Mate-terminal, Sublime Text 3, Emacs, Steam, Chromium, Firefox, Mumble, Blender and GIMP. These are also my most used applications.
Logan, love your work. This is what I got from the video: Don't use 2160p, Linux rocks, beer rocks more, Windows sucks, wait, wait some more, the drunk the better, et voila!
I know it's been said before and on other videos but could you consider zooming in on what you're doing for the sake of the video? a native 4k video has the tex so small and it's fuzzy/ even fullscreen for me on my 1080p monitor
because 4k is a sham
Not ideal for screen capture
+John vape if you look at 1080p native capture on a 360p display you get the same problem. Therefore 1080p is a sham?
The issue with the compute sticks is that they lack the CPU horsepower to handle HD video that lacks hardware acceleration, especially 1080p 10 bit at high bit rates.
While not as compact, many core i5 based laptops (older gen refurbished) can be had for around $150-170. they work fer better as a media streaming box, and can run windows and VLC player with no problem.
also at that price point nucs and chrome boxes exist. with the chrome boxes able to run Ubuntu through crout
Wrong, you have to go to the BIOS and configure "mode" to "performance" and it flies, I play D3 (all minimun)with 18 to 25 fps, it's a beast for it's size! If can play D3 on the framerate can play 1080p vídeos ...
The issue is that the the quad core atom and other ultra low power SOCs from intel, is that If you cannot get acceleration from the GPU (games are GPU accelerated), then you get poor frame rates. I have used netbooks with better performing SOCs and they cannot handle 1080p 10 bit h.264 (a format which the intel onboard video has no acceleration for). It will do 8 bit with no problem, but not many onboard GPUs offer 10 bit support, thus the system does software rendering.
When you run a game, the CPU and GPU are working together. When playing unsupported video, the CPU is working along on content that it is not well suited for.
If you have a compute stick, try getting a 1080p 10 bit h.264 in MKV container bluray copy of some anime, and see how those low powered SOCs struggle. Most modern video formats are designed around there being hardware acceleration, and Intel has been slow to add proper acceleration to more formats. AMD is a little better with their GPUs, and Nvidia is much better, but in a scumbag way where they reserve newer formats for their newer cards (older cards rarely get any love from nvidia when it comes to adding support for new codecs).
PS, unlike games which are shader intensive, compressed video playback is computationally intensive, and the performance difference for the work done is similar to the difference of mining bitcoin on a CPU as compared to a GPU. The GPU is many orders of magnitude faster, this is why CUDA based video editors (e.g., davinci resolve, gain such a massive boost in performance with you throw in a high end GPU, as compared to trying to get it to do something like de-noise, and encode video using the CPU alone.
Is Logan now shacked up with JoanneTechLover and no longer with Pistol? #DaysOfOurLives
You sir, are hilarious. Subscribed!
I use a lot of Linux and find your videos to be helpful and funny! I dig it!
When I don't see that glorious face of yours suddenly your voice reminds me of James Woods. So... there's that.
so I had trouble watching your screencaps when they were 1440p and my toaster was 1366x768. Now I got a 1080p monitor and have trouble watching your 4k screencaps. The race never ends.
Keep up the great content though.
I was thinking of getting a comput stick installing Linux and obs on it and using it for an augmented reality project
About the over scanning issue. My tablet uses the same atom chip, as far as I am aware this issue extends far beyond it though, but I can't remember the specifics. The easiest way to fix it that I have found is to use a HDMI to VGA adapter and use that into the TV. I just used some cheap Camac adapter from amazon.
The general Idea of the vga converter is that it has its own scaler that does the job properly unlike the TV if yours does not support that sort of thing.
did you record this on a cinema screen
I respect all distorts but I love the flexibility of arch
On my HTPC i have Debian Stretch with Gnome3 DE. I like Gnome as a living room DE, because everything is big enough to be seen from 4-5 meters away. And ofc Kodi for the media center.
On desktop i have Debian Stretch with LXQt DE tho.
Nice wallpaper!
OMG thanks TekLinux, I have a problem with my dual monitor where the second monitor using VGA cable is overscanning a little to left. Such a coincidence that I wasted a whole night yesterday and ended up with using underscan to lower my resolution, now I don't need to sacrifice 20 pixels of my resolution :)
xrandr isn't persistent between sessions (at least it isn't when I use it). If you're using that to fix your resolution and refresh rate you should set up a script to run it at the start of every session.
Finally some useful idea.
I've been using a raspberry pi with Debian and Kodi (formerly XBMC) for my television for years now. It works great for H.264 encoded video, but not much else.
For media center usage, I'd install ubuntu-restricted-extras (codecs), Chrome, Steam, Plex, Kodi, Spotify.
Kodi its a fantastic open source media center, great for a living room PC
Logan, 4K monitors are awesome, I think we can all agree on that. But for the love of god most of your audience uses 1080p monitors. So when recording these sorts of things, I think it's pretty reasonable to just change the res on your monitor to 1080p. It just makes the production quality a bit better.
How many beers did you feed the camera during the cut @ 4:45 ?
Great tutorial! I'm going to try this install on an Intel stick. Internet users: can anyone recommend me a controller I can plug in for Linux Steam gaming? Button config software needed too?
Could explain how you adjusted the screen resolution.you could not see the command
would you recommend lubuntu on the stick ?
after every Linux installation, I install an SSH server, vim, zsh, htop, java
on a desktop computer there's usually nothing missing except proprierary stuff like Viber, Skype ...
I'm just trying to find a way to play audio. I've hooked it up but there's no audio coming out of my TV.
I have one of these they are very old now. I put batocera on it to play nes and older 8 and 16 bit games
"Something appropriate" Has stripers dancing.
kodi and steam is my first installs
setting it up as a "media pc" it would have been nice to see video playback off media and websites
"i've ruined it" my favorite part of the video :D
Not sure what the first thing is I install... probably VLC or something, I just install as I need to use stuff.
However, the very first thing I do after installing Ubuntu is delete all of the bloatware that comes with it.
Ubuntu is slowly becoming the linux equivalent of that windows copy you got from Acer or HP...
I got myself an Compute Stick, now I'm curios if I can install every linux I want like Arch or CentOS or if I'm limited by custom ROMs. Does someone know somethin' about that?
Is it a good idea installing Deb 8 on your home PC?
as media device kodi with all network settings on is good idea
6:48 I don't think I've ever picked anything except 'something else' here. Even if it's a full format, I just get paranoid about it if I don't know everything that's going to happen.
If using a computestick? I'd go with Xubuntu. From there I would install apt-fast and set it up for 8 connections to make upgrades and installs a tiny bit faster. Then synaptic, steam, kodi, chrome, steam compositor and steam modeswitch inhibitor. Then I would download all the audio and video codecs in the repository.
Then I would set up Netflix, AnimeLab and Crunchyroll as Full Screen, kiosk mode Chrome apps and make desktop files for each. Then set up AntiMicro as I use a gamepad.
Then I'd add kodi and the chrome app destop files as non-steam games, set up auto login with SteamOS-Session as the session.
From there I would launch Kodi and add all the addons I want.
With a self built machine? VaporOS, it does most of that stuff for you, you only have to download and run a few scripts in desktop mode.
I hear the Compute Stick has a fan. Does Linux use it less often than Windows?
I enjoyed this video. Keep the Linux ones coming.
great video but links are all down, could you please upload and update the video with an link to download the OS? thx in advance man great job
Great video. Can you make any productive work on it ? It looks like it can run like a browser with two tabs opened.
There's many a netbook with worse specs than it, and you can do a lot on netbooks.
have you tried using manjaro on that?
You could install -Xbox Media Center- -XBMC- *Kodi*
Did you just install the games to the same hard drive as the OS?
Might consider dropping resolution while capturing?
Anyone know where he gets these cool backgrounds?
XBMC, Steam in BP ... and done :P
Hi there? Could you install PrimeOS as well?
to stream on a compute stick you must have the router no more than 10 inches away from the compute stick to only receive about 72mbps max speed. they really suck. however the second gen compute stick is really fast..... gpu and wifi wise.
i got the same J5create usb hub
Thank you very much for your explanation but please can you help me to solve my problem as i bought T11 Mini pc 4G RAM and 32G eMMC but I have problem with WIFI inspite of it was working with windows (it's the same spec., as this stick but box ) , so please can you advice me to how to solve no WiFi completely
@Soliman I had the same issue with Mate on a W5 Pro and was able to fix it with this guide. askubuntu.com/questions/1202336/broadcom-802-11ac-wdi-sdio Note: this works on Mate but not Lubuntu.
I throw Kodi (formally known as xbmc) on my Linux htpc.
Then slap YATSE on my android phone so I can control it and I share things like CZcams vida from my phone to kodi through YATSE.
If I need anything else there are plenty of skins and addons for kodi that you can have it handle any TV n movies n music if u want.
you could just use winrar on windows to extract a iso to a usb stick/sd card
Wtf logan are you using an imax theater as a monitor?
wallpaper link?
Which Linux is best Linux? My Linux is best Linux because (I wear a) Fedora.
Fedora is a great hat but a poor distro.
+Night_Fiend6 Why do you think so?
In my opinion its one of the greatest distros.
What is the use-case for this? I understand you had one lying around, but wouldn't a Steam Link or Raspberry Pi be cheaper and accomplish the same thing?
RPi wouldn't work with Steam in-home streaming.
Steam doesn't work on ARM, and you can't do anything with a Steam Link other than, well, Steam.
where you able to do steam in-home streaming with good performance as well?
It wont be too bad with a good wifi connection
+TheHareidGamer The stick supports 802.11n. The throughput should be more than enough, but I don't know about the latency.
Hmm, what does it taste like?
link to wallpaper plz
There are no download links on his website
Thank you from Russia!
Watch at 50% speed at the start. :)
+Tek Linux thankfully the newer Compute Sticks have better WiFi. I want one. Don't need one but I want it anyway :D
Is there any Active download link for ubuntu 14.04 unofficial official ubuntu? all Ian Morison Links are down
I just went there and you have to request to get it.
Yes without never getting an answer
which zweihander sing is that?
Would a USB to gigabit Ethernet adapter work?
James Pollard yes
is this still up to date?
Ubuntu with Unity. Because why not? I'm waiting for Unity 8 and in the future, maybe Ubuntu TV will come back from the dead. Anybody remembers Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity for TVs?
so I've been trying to put Android on an old desktop computer with no success I was wondering if you knew of any good tutorials on this matter
Does android even support x86 chips? I thought it was arm only
u can also put links bro
miniPC from aliExpress would be much better. little bit bigger, but still totally portable. on the other hand N3150 minimum and i3-i5-i7 possible...
time to buy a 4k monitor i guess . ^^
lol so weird to hear logans voice after all these years...
Umm... font size?
¸put usb to lan adapter in the usb hub and wire it
What is the "| LLL" at the end of the title?
I think it was logan's Linux log at one point
+elecxonica Very plausible.
website link where you downloaded the iso?

does the intel compute stick have an x86 processor?
Yes that is correct, it is an Intel Atom processor. The first gen are Z3735F processors, somewhere in between a Raspberry Pi3 and an old netbook from about 10 years ago when those little laptops were all the rage. They were actually what the Atom chip was made for in the first place, although this is a quad core version so it is actually a sight better. The CPU itself isn't too half bad, but the lack of substantial ram, and graphical processing are what holds it back. The Azulle stick Intel Compute Stick clone I got, which is a first gen has about 2gb ram, and it is really struggling to multitask much of anything. I went and found something perfect to remedy it though, I grabbed an old 1gb USB flash drive I haven;t been using in ages, and put it on the system and turned it into a dedicated virtual memory drive, so it added 1gb mor of ram which helps out a lot with multitasking.
Even in Steam Big Picture Mode, in 720p resolution, you will struggle to be able to actually play games while BPM is running, since you would be better served freeing up all that extra process power for the actual game itself.
I put my compute stick clone inside of an old NES case, and threw in a USB hub and an extra Xbox 360 wireless adapter inside it, so I can use my Xbox 360 controller with it and use it as a little emulation box. It can actually in fact handle PSP emulation somewhat, so that right there should tell you how much better this thing is for PC hobbyists like me, since it is really pretty good for emulation or throwing Kodi on it and using as a mini HTPC.
If you do end up getting one, I would try and get the 3rd gen version which has an I3 processor, and I believe 4gb of ram. Those cost QUITE a bit more, but they will come way down in price in a few years.
I'd install kodi on there
Please consider that some of your viewers watch your vídeos on their phones and the resolution you is high difficulting watch your them.
cheers.
I saw it for $50 on Ebay (New)
Well you already had Ubunbtu installed so I guess when there is only windows installed its make it so much harder
Your resolution is so high I couldn't really read anything that was happening on your computer. Although I am using a TV with a resolution of 1360x768.
Libre Office and DOSBox.
SereneLinux installable
Intel is not going to be happy about this.
how to open boot menu? pls help!
like!! press f7 -) enter menu-) thankx for help!
Real man uses Gentoo
Gnome can grok my vernacular.
I used to be an adventurer like you... but then I took a sword to the crotch...
Install Gentoo
on ubuntu ctrl+alt+t brings up the terminal emulator, might be more confortable than trying to hit the right menu
And that's not quite specific to Ubuntu, it has to actually do more with the desktop environment you're running(and multiple of them have that as a hotkey by default). It's the same for the Cinnamon desktop environment.
Guake is also handy so you can hit tilde or any key you want for an fps style terminal.
QuickQuips if it's already installed
Rather annoyingly, the Kubuntu guys don't preset that shortcut...
