The OSFirstTimer YouTube channel

OSFirstTimer is a YouTube channel ran by Philip Adams. This channel has Philip's family (his mum, dad, and younger sister) test out various operating systems. As of September 6th, 2019, OSFirstTimer has over 92,000 subscribers. 

In every episode, five basic tasks are used to complete on these operating systems.

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. The worst OS was declared as MS-DOS in the 'Top 3 Worst and Best Operating System User Interfaces' video.

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.

Due to renovations being done on the house the Adams family live in, OSFirstTimer has not uploaded since October 16, 2018. According to Phil, uploads will continue once the renovations are done, which is supposed to be in early December 2019.

Most videos now use the OSFirstTimer Advanced intro as opposed to the original OSFirstTimer intro that is only used in videos that follow the 5 basic tasks format.
