This channel has Philip's family (his [[Diana Adams|mum]], [[Ben Adams|dad]] and [[Jasmine Adams|younger sister]]) test out various operating systems. As of October 13th, 2023, OSFirstTimer has reached around 108,000 subscribers.

Initially having started as a series, where [[OSFirstTimer Format|five basic tasks]] were given to complete on various operating systems that were never tested before by his family, the channel has branched out to testing out and reviewing devices, software and games, either by himself or together with his family.


The original aim of OSFirstTimer was to find the best operating system which eventually turned out to be Arch Linux with the KDE desktop environment installed; it was given the unofficial name of 'The Diana Perfect OS' as Diana, Philip's mum, personalized it to her liking. MS-DOS was declared the worst operating system in the 'Top 3 Worst and Best Operating System User Interfaces' video, although Arch Linux, in its base form, was presumably given a similarly low ranking to MS-DOS a few videos later.

'''OSFirstTimer''' is a YouTube channel ran by [[Philip Adams]]. This channel's videos demonstrate a first-time user trying out a computer operating system. It has around 75,000 subscribers and is quite popular. For every episode, the five basic [[OSFirstTimer Format|OSFirstTimer tasks]] are used to discover these operating systems. which is where 6 simple tasks are given to Diana to complete. In Late 2016-2017 A discord server was opened under the name 'AstralPhaser Central' where weekly chats relating to OSFirstTimer are held and later uploaded onto the [[AstralPhaser]] YouTube channel.

The original aim of OSFirstTimer was to find the best OS which eventually turned out to be Arch Linux with the KDE desktop environment installed, it was given the unofficial name of 'The Diana Perfect OS' as Diana personalised it to her liking. The worst OS was declared as OS-DOS in the 'Top 3 Worst and Best Operating System User Interfaces' in 2012. After the best and worst operating systems were decided, the channel then solely focused on exploring operating systems in general, this was expanded upon with the [[OSFirstTimer Advanced]] series.
After the best and worst operating systems were decided, the channel then solely focused on exploring operating systems in general; this was expanded upon with the [[OSFirstTimer Advanced]] series.

Philip took a break from uploading on OSFirstTimer from October 2018 to December 2019 due to renovations in their house in Tasmania. When renovations were completed, Philip uploaded a video on the 9th of December 2019 to explain why he couldn't upload due to VFR (Variable Frame Rate) issues, but was able to later. His Alienware Area 51 PC was replaced by a custom Mwave PC in January 2020 due to the Alienware's failing hardware and it being unable to record the screen. According to the update video addressing said information, Phil said it could take up to 2 months for a new video as his new Mwave machine won't boot every second day and due to Hobart-to-Sydney and Sydney-to-Hobart shipping taking a long time (Sydney is where Mwave is located in).

== OSFirstTimer Advanced ==
=== OS's tested in 2013 ===
In 2015, Philip started a series on his channel named [[OSFirstTimer Advanced|''OSFirstTimer Advanced'']] where he has Diana complete more complex tasks on certain operating systems throughout history. Initially, videos of that series used the OSFirstTimer Advanced intro as opposed to the original OSFirstTimer intro only used in the videos that follow the 5 basic tasks format. Starting with the video ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxGqaXxczw0 Mum Tries Out Tandy DeskMate 3.02 (1988)]'' though, new videos by the channel include a new, much shorter intro, replacing the intros of both the original OSFirstTimer and OSFirstTimer Advanced series.

=== OS's Tested in 2014 ===
=== Controversy regarding its first intro ===
Despite popular belief, the initial OSFirstTimer Advanced intro prior to the Tandy DeskMate video was not created by, but only customised by Philip. YouTube user ''[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbxPBKMfdfaoAAzNL6RkTAQ RavenProDesign]'' is the creator, having created it as a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVAgIYLoIjg free trailer template] in 2014. Furthermore, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JPg4gIktBM Neosphere]'', the song used, was published in late 2012 by Jack Trammell, working under the independent music company and record label ''PositionMusic''. Since permission by the company was missing for RavenProDesign to use said song, the song was never allowed to be used and redistributed by the user in any shape or form.
* '''USU Linux 8.3 '''''(2013)''
* '''iOS 7 on iPhone '''''(2013)''
* '''SymbOS 2.0''' ''(2007)''
* '''Visopsys 0.7.3 '''''(2014)''
* '''Tails 0.2.3 + Deepweb '''''(2014)''
* '''Windows 95''' ''(1995)'' (With new recording system for OSFirstTimer videos e.g. 'shaky cam' replaced with green screen)
* '''PC-BSD 10 '''''(2014)''
* '''Windows 98 SE''' ''(1998)'' '''(Dad tries out)'''
* '''Spatry's Manjaro 0.8.9.1 Cup of Linux Edition '''''(2014)''
* '''Windows 2.10 '''''(1988)'' '''(Dad tries out)'''
* '''Windows 10 Technical Preview '''''(2014)''
* '''Ubuntu 14.10''' ''(2014)'' '''(Dad tries out)'''
* '''Damn Small Linux 4.4.10''' ''(2008)''


Without prior checking or knowledge of such, Philip used the template and edited it for his Advanced series, not replacing the song. This resulted in Philip having received copyright notices in the form of shared revenue notices with PositionMusic, albeit three and a half years after the publication of the first Advanced episode. That led to the post-upload cutdown of the intro of many Advanced episodes through YouTube's video editor.
=== OS's Tested in 2016 ===
* '''Amiga OS 3.1 '''''(1993)''
* '''Zorin OS 11 Beta '''''(2016)''
* '''Solus 1.1 '''''(2016)''
* '''Salix OS 14.0.1 - Ratpoison''' ''(2013)''
* '''IRIX 6.5.30 '''''(2006)''
* '''4MLinux 20.0''' ''(2016)'' '''(Dad tries out)'''
* '''Remix OS 3.0.101''' ''(2016)''
* '''Windows XP '''''(2001)'' '''(Jasmine tries out)'''


That situation, along with the often-joked-about length of the two intros used (being around 15-20 seconds long), is the reason why Philip decided to use a new intro from the Tandy DeskMate video onwards, for both normal and Advanced episodes.

Latest revision as of 04:11, 4 May 2024

OSFirstTimer is a YouTube channel run by Philip Adams. This channel has Philip's family (his mum, dad and younger sister) test out various operating systems. As of October 13th, 2023, OSFirstTimer has reached around 108,000 subscribers.

Initially having started as a series, where five basic tasks were given to complete on various operating systems that were never tested before by his family, the channel has branched out to testing out and reviewing devices, software and games, either by himself or together with his family.

The original aim of OSFirstTimer was to find the best operating system which eventually turned out to be Arch Linux with the KDE desktop environment installed; it was given the unofficial name of 'The Diana Perfect OS' as Diana, Philip's mum, personalized it to her liking. MS-DOS was declared the worst operating system in the 'Top 3 Worst and Best Operating System User Interfaces' video, although Arch Linux, in its base form, was presumably given a similarly low ranking to MS-DOS a few videos later.

After the best and worst operating systems were decided, the channel then solely focused on exploring operating systems in general; this was expanded upon with the OSFirstTimer Advanced series.

Philip took a break from uploading on OSFirstTimer from October 2018 to December 2019 due to renovations in their house in Tasmania. When renovations were completed, Philip uploaded a video on the 9th of December 2019 to explain why he couldn't upload due to VFR (Variable Frame Rate) issues, but was able to later. His Alienware Area 51 PC was replaced by a custom Mwave PC in January 2020 due to the Alienware's failing hardware and it being unable to record the screen. According to the update video addressing said information, Phil said it could take up to 2 months for a new video as his new Mwave machine won't boot every second day and due to Hobart-to-Sydney and Sydney-to-Hobart shipping taking a long time (Sydney is where Mwave is located in).

The episode list will continue to populate over the coming days. New pages will be made detailing each episode and its contents.

OSFirstTimer Advanced

In 2015, Philip started a series on his channel named OSFirstTimer Advanced where he has Diana complete more complex tasks on certain operating systems throughout history. Initially, videos of that series used the OSFirstTimer Advanced intro as opposed to the original OSFirstTimer intro only used in the videos that follow the 5 basic tasks format. Starting with the video Mum Tries Out Tandy DeskMate 3.02 (1988) though, new videos by the channel include a new, much shorter intro, replacing the intros of both the original OSFirstTimer and OSFirstTimer Advanced series.

Controversy regarding its first intro

Despite popular belief, the initial OSFirstTimer Advanced intro prior to the Tandy DeskMate video was not created by, but only customised by Philip. YouTube user RavenProDesign is the creator, having created it as a free trailer template in 2014. Furthermore, Neosphere, the song used, was published in late 2012 by Jack Trammell, working under the independent music company and record label PositionMusic. Since permission by the company was missing for RavenProDesign to use said song, the song was never allowed to be used and redistributed by the user in any shape or form.

Without prior checking or knowledge of such, Philip used the template and edited it for his Advanced series, not replacing the song. This resulted in Philip having received copyright notices in the form of shared revenue notices with PositionMusic, albeit three and a half years after the publication of the first Advanced episode. That led to the post-upload cutdown of the intro of many Advanced episodes through YouTube's video editor.

That situation, along with the often-joked-about length of the two intros used (being around 15-20 seconds long), is the reason why Philip decided to use a new intro from the Tandy DeskMate video onwards, for both normal and Advanced episodes.

Diana Games Through Time

In 2020, Philip started a series on the channel called "Diana Games Through Time", where Diana would play video games starting in 1978, through to the present time. Each episode would feature Diana playing a video game from that particular year. This series concluded on the 7th of May 2021. Below is a list of all of the current Diana Games Through Time Episodes.
