50 thoughts on “Installing Ubuntu Linux on a Power Mac G4 Cube!”

  • The GNOME build date is NOT in DD/MM/YY, it is in MM/DD/YY, because Ubuntu releases are released 1 month after GNOME releases. Except for 6.06, I guess. So for example, Ubuntu 21.10 came out 1 month after GNOME 41.

  • I have been subscribed for a long time Michael and JD since you've had the intro that dadsdsdad bahhbahhh too bad I'm a kid so I cannot afford your membership I'm only 15 autistic big inspiration for a channel though I love your channel.

  • Video idea: show every version of Ubuntu to the current. Maybe other OSs like the Windows 1.0 to 10 video.

  • Does anyone know if there is anywhere you can buy these official CDs without spending literally $400?

  • It'd be interesting to see if you can update the os to a more modern version. Nice video otherwise.

  • โ€œGnomeโ€ i just love the way itโ€™s said

  • What would happen if you would update this Ubuntu version? Is it even upgradeable?

  • I have Kubuntu Linux installed on a Power Mac G4 Silver, and all the software works, but is slow. Is this because Linux is running on a virtual machine, rather than making direct calls to the hardware?

  • That desktop reminds me of when I first discovered Linux when I was a kid only a few short years after this release.

  • I don't mind Ubuntu and other based distros if it's up to version 10.10 ๐Ÿ˜€ This is the last ever good version of Ubuntu, everything after this went just down hill ๐Ÿ˜€

  • i have a PC with 4 OSโ€™s on it. WinXP, WinME, Codename Neptune, and a not-fully-installed version of Ubuntu

  • I have some of those Ubuntu CDs, it was quite cool. I guess these days you wouldn't need that when you can just grab a USB.

  • i remember i got my first ubuntu disc at a blockbuster – wish i still had it

  • micheal mjd: "$2.50 powermac g5
    youtube: "10 second autism test"

  • Man I want to install ubuntu again. I remember installing that CD a long ass time ago. I always had issues with other distros, but ubuntu worked best on my computer at the time.

  • I used that version of ubuntu and been to that website in 2005… just not the cube.

  • Love that old ncurses installer, still use whenever possible for both Debian and Ubuntu. So simple

  • idea for a video, update marathon from ubuntu 5.04 to 20.04 on PowerPC

  • 2:40 Don't redo those videos they are a little bit nostalgic๐Ÿ˜…

  • Dumb question, cab you install XP to it? How about 95/98? And what I'm really interested in…Longhorn

  • Darn. I think I lost all my ShipIt Ubuntu disks by this point. Been a Linux user primarily since Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake).

  • I gave up trying to install Linux on my G4 cube. I just couldn't get anywhere further than the command line. Could I ask what GPU is in your cube?

  • The fact that 2005 is considered old is making me feel uncomfortable. I remember ordering those exact cd's because it was basically impossible for me to download Linux. I only really had access to the internet at school or by going to the public library.

  • You can try to install gentoo Linux for PowerPC using a modern kernel and a modern distribution.

  • Should i upgrade my Windows 10 pc to Linux? Since its 12 years old (and still better then my laptop eich is on win 11)
