I got a C64 for Christmas 1983. 41 years later I am a professional software engineer and it's all thanks to that. Best Christmas present ever.

[The_Wandering_Nerd]

Wow! This device is nostalgic not just for Commodore 64 users, but fans of late-2000s Linux desktop effects :)

[Laz_Arus]

This 72 year-old was smiling throughout this video. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 👍

[ernied]

Thanks so much for this and all your videos. My 11 year old daughter and I watch them together, it’s one of our special things we do.
Always so positive and genuine, your content is very uplifting.She loved your Lost Angeles music video. Thanks again and cheers from Australia.

Your reactions to the Compiz effects that they cranked up are glorious. Almost all of that came out of Linux in early 2000s, and we all had a great time spinning the cube and impressing people with Desktop Compiz stuff while everyone else struggle-bussed along on Windows and Mac. I'm happy they still bring people joy :)

[fraserthomson]

"for games you legally own".. lol I'm old enough to know nobody legally 'owned' many C64 games..

[andrewdonatelli]

I must have this! I still have my beloved C64 from 1982. Finally, after 42 years he will have a brother!

[DotArve]

For a linux user in the early naughts, the desktop experience gave me strong Compiz vibes.

[TDGalea]

The fact they themed GRUB with the BASIC colour scheme is absolute GENIUS at play.

The Commodore brand is in good hands.

I built a Windows 10 C64 five years ago. I took my dead breadbin C64, pulled the toast motherboard and got a Tynmouth(sp?) card to make the breadbin keyboard a USB keyboard, and built an Intel Compute Stick into the case. I cut the bar between the cassette and user ports on the back, and mounted the DVD drive from a dead laptop in that spot. I took a Commodore branded PS2 mouse (yes, they had them before Commodore shut down) and used an USB adapter for it. Found a 17" VGA monitor that was the same color as the beige breadbin, and hooked that up to make my 64 bit retro system. So it's a modern computer in a genuine '80's breadbin case with genuine 80's keys.

People put so much effort in retrobrighting their old machines and he orders his case yellowed already. Interesting choice.

[rochr]

You saying 'this commodore software is amazing' while you where on a joyride of what linux desktop can be made me smile and yes, they put it all nicely together, even skinned grub boot menu, very nice and classy.

[mantaproject]

I want one! Got my first C64 for my 12th birthday. A few years later I got 7 plus an Amiga 500 & 600 and a C128. So much fun back then. I sold them all (except my original C64)
This brings so much memory back into a complete package with no installation hassle.. very very nice!😍

[timeship]

Great news! In 1986 I learned complete animation production on C64 in college, from start to finish: drawing, in-betweening, coloring, music composing, sound effects, video editing, and finally output to video. It was revolutionary and we called it Sci-Fi Robot. BTW, did anyone tell you that your voice sounds like Bob Ross? ;-)

[TheValveGuides]

Wow. Wayne Dempsey here - I learned to program on these (with GEOS) at age 14, and then worked for RUN Magazine when I was sixteen. That stint got me into MIT, and the rest is history! Very interesting that YouTube recommended this for me...

[uzimonkey]

This is what we were all doing on our Linux desktops in like... 2005? Spinning cube, wobbly windows, cursor effects, fire effects when you minimize a window, all that stuff. I'm honestly surprised that stuff still works.

[amcclay]

(Boots up C64x, looks wonderously at OS) - "This is UNIX... I *KNOW* this!"

[ramrod]

I never had a c64, I had a Ti/994a. This still brings me much joy.

[johnandrews]

Still have my Commodore 128D, my first computer, and it still works!

[WDCallahan]

We Linux users have been calling that "compiz" for almost 20 years. It is a lot of fun!
