Description[edit | edit source]

Ever thought Damn Small Linux was small? Well you should check out TINY! Tinycore Linux to be exact. Amazingly this distro is fully bootable with an included window manager yet it's entire size is just under 12 megabytes. This is definitely worth checking out!

Tasks Given: - What time is it? - Write save and open a text document - Maximize a window - Find and download a calculator less than 200kb in size - Calculate 15,684 + 968 - Change the desktop background - Modify the wbar - Explore Tinycore Linux - Turn off the computer

The mother in this video uses Windows XP (2001) as her main OS dual booted with Elementary OS (a fast Linux distro). Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as Ubuntu Satanic Edition 666.8 (2010)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.
