New Fry's Electronics Linux PC from 2005 - GQ3131 with Linspire
Added 2025-09-24 21:28:59 +0000 UTCHello!
This video is one I would never think I would be able to make. After what I feel like is an incredibly lucky score of something that would be ewaste to even 99% of computer collectors I get to re-experience a very significant computer and operating system to me!
Like I say in the intro, this one is a bit self indulgent, but I think the "along for the ride" feel of it may still be something people enjoy. This is also me dipping a toe in the water for vintage linux stuff because I've been building up some things for that and would like to check it out more in the future. I've been avoiding having videos as long as this one for a while as well but unless I just chopped it into two parts I don't think there is anything I could remove to make it shorter without sacrificing the overall experience.

Great video! Relaxing, low stakes fun. Love the classic Tech Tangents vibe. And I'm glad you're not burning out. You've done a lot of complex work the last several months! Brain rest good.

Also you made a typo on the second "the" where you hit the 'w' key rather than the 'e' key, but try not to let it bother you. ;-) All joking aside I thoroughly enjoyed this one, your enthusiasm is infectious.
