OSFirstTimer Youtube channel.

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 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 old OSFirstTimer appearance (used from 2012 to 2015).

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.

OSFirstTimer Advanced

Recently Philip has started a series on his channel called OSFirstTimer Advanced where he has his mom complete more complex tasks on certain OS's throughout history. 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
