Nice video. As an os engineer, this was a bit painful, but glad you learned something about operating systems along the way. Swap is virtual ram. Host name is network name of the computer.
@@R.K_Chalkboard For when you want to download more ram /s Simply put, swap is a place on your drive that may be used as (veeery slooow) RAM if your actual RAM is full
To take it step further, a program that runs on your system doesn't access the memory of the computer directly. If it did, a malicious program could do anything it wanted to on the system from deleting the contents of the harddrive to reading passwords. As a result, it allocates memory by requesting it from the kernel, which has a memory manager. The memory manager allocates continuous memory segments called pages and maps the address space from this virtual memory to physical address space in the ram. As a result, the kernel has the ability to move ram not in use if physical ram is low to another storage space, the swap or page file, and then reload it back to ram when needed. It swaps the memory to and from the disk, hence the name. Since the memory is grouped in to pages, windows chooses to Call it a page file. Same idea although the mechanics are slightly different in their respective implementations.
15:50 ^[[24~ is the ANSI escape sequence for the F12 key. ^[ starts the sequence and [24~ is the code for F12. When the program running in the terminal doesn't know what to do with an escape sequence, it just gets printed instead.

Interesting thing about this laptop: I’ve worked at a few Geek Squad locations, and I can safely say that it’s the most common model of Toshiba laptop I see. Toshiba Satellite, some series designator plus 55. T-55, P-55, PS-55, it’s insane. They all shipped with Windows 7 and they all come in with destroyed Windows 10 installations that crash when you open settings, and sometimes even CMD. But their drives don’t seem to fail very often, which is good because they’ll often have a decade and a half of stuff on them! 😂
Mine got bios bit rot after the Hard drive started to fail ! first it started to beep loudly whenever I try to enter the bios & freeze, It booted normally tho~ got all important stuff backed up then when I replaced the Hard disk ... BLACK SCREEN Funny thing I never formatted the windows since I bought it in 2011 RIP Toshiba Satellite PSK04, you served me well (2011~2019)
hey! I work professionally with computer hardware troubleshooting and I have a sneaking (unsurprising) suspicion that the motherboard may have sustained damage in some capacity. Failing RAM can corrupt data, as can failing storage (but it likely wasn't storage considering the new SSD). You could have very well been doing everything right! But the laptop simply... put its foot down.
While I get cleaning the inside of laptops is tougher than a desktop tower. I feel bad for the family member who once owned that laptop knowing they'll put their current/next one through hell. Entertaining video by the way.
Having dealt with an old (unknown brand) laptop before I can attest that the struggle is, in fact, real. Thanks for reminding me of the hours wasted trying to do all sorts of jank just to get to the BIOS
Just installing Linux on such a machine isn't all that hard. I have a very similar Toshiba laptop, exact same outer shell and screen, except a bit older, with a 1st gen i7 and an nvidia GPU, not supported by nvidia's proprietary drivers. Still run Linux on it with no problem
This whole video is such a mood. I've been in this exact scenario with an even lower budget. And until recently a Sceptre brand monitor was my monitor for testing things.
I'm pretty sure those 2nd gen i7's don't support Vulkan (on Linux) at all, so you wouldn't have much luck running games on these. You could of course try an egpu!
A SpongeBob reference, a Homestar Runner reference, and a Jimmy Neutron reference all within the first 5 minutes. Who is this man and why is he after my heart
This is the content I need more of! I am constantly doing weird and random shit with old pc parts I have lying around. It's hilarious to see someone else go through the struggle of installing stuff that should NOT be installed on the hardware.
You can also buy some laptop antennas with shorter cables and just attach the antennas to the laptop chassis in some suitable place. Or just use the existing antennas, and coil up the extra.
I felt all that pain. When you're doing something super obscure and prompt just spits in your eye every time you make some progress. Great video. Unfortunate for your project though but you've earned a sub.
more seriously, the next thing id like to see from valve is a 'steam control 2' emulating all the input options of the deck & with full steam input compatibility.
An interesting idea. Regardless of how it ends up. A Chromebook with old laptops sure been done before, but Steam big picture mode, maybe a Steam link connection from one device to another why not. That's the new hip marketable thing if you don't have a Steam Deck. XD
seeing someone else struggling to open laptop not meant to be open like I've done a dozen times bring me joy, like... when you know the pain, you know, you know ? and of course each time you do that it's because you got an urge to try something out and install stuff that will serve no purpose in the long run but even if it's frustrating it's still fun for some reason
This laptop reminds me of my old Toshiba Satellite, which was a Core i7 laptop too coincidentally, and in which i ended up installing a SSD too. I still use it as a secondary machine to monitor my Twitch stream chat while I stream using my modern 13700KF main machine. The hard drive should have come in a caddy to hold it in place, that might explain the block and cable time.
The amount of old shit computers I have done the exact same thing with blows my mind. You remind me so much of me when I used to take all my old family crap and make it work. My favorite is when I made a PSU work by using electric tape and twisting the lines together. Probably a fire hazard but screw it.
I'm not a pc specialist, but I remember I tried to install windows 10 to a 2nd gen i7 laptop though a USB Stick and it was imposible. I ended up using an external DVD reader via Usb and it worked.
interesting, was probably an issue with your flash drive or whatever tool you used to make the usb drive bootable. I install windows from USB drives on machines ranging from 2006 and even they can boot the Windows 10 installer.
Yeah, so as you may have realized, many laptop keyboards are clipped or screwed in. You must release them in various arcane ways. Then access the screws beneath them. Next up: WiFi antennae. If you happened to have disassembled a DS or a satellite TV DVR (maybe because it was less than $10 and had a 1TB hard drive inside) you might be in possesion of little wifi antennae with the proper connector for this laptop. Putting them back in where the hinges used to be is totally acceptable. Also you have the option of taking the screen apart to get the original antennae and just winding up the extra wire, it works fine as well. I am at the beginning, so I assume you will be quickly discovering that support for Intel processors on HoloISO is not very good.
I love how little fucks you give. Big change from watching people like Dawid does Tech Stuff and Linus Tech Tips. It's funny, but professional. You just don't give a fuck and it's GREAT
I love when everything goes wrong in tech videos... No, I'm serious, it's quite entertaining for some reason. I also enjoy MJD "everything went wrong" videos.
you should have declipped the keyboard, removed the ribbon connector, and then unscrew 2 screws. i have an old asus that i dissassemble like every week that looks like your toshiba... as for the cmos battery, on mine i think it didn't have one but you could reset the bios by pressing for like 30 seconds on the power button with the battery removed (i think it empty the capacitors that replaces the cmos battery or something)
God, the ragequit after nothing goes right is all too relatable. Sorry to see you experience that :( If you do try again, Valve is beginning to add the SteamOS Big Picture UI to the standard version of Steam (granted it's only in the beta branch of Steam right now), so you can get something pretty similar to the Steam Deck experience by just installing a different distro and launching Steam with the correct boot parameters. I don't have a Steam Deck and haven't tried the beta yet, but based on past experiences I can't imagine there'd be many differences between the two versions.
As I look to my main rig assembled in pieces on a motherboard box because my riser cable died recently (...8months ago) - I really relate to your method of madness.
I see a man's descent into madness. The same journey I've endeavored so many times. I look at his eyes, reflected on the blank screen, and I see myself.
@@BuzzingGoober You should realize that many tech enthusiast value ie. Rasberry Pi's a lot and their compute power is miniscule. Actually way less than this laptop. I consider myself "semi" enthusiast as I've built multiple plus 1000€ rigs in the years, but I still have ie. old Pentium laptop with svga and Soundblaster compatible sound with proper "fast" refreshing TFT and I pretty much value it higher than my M-series Macbook Air 😂
Man this video stressed me out lol. Probably picked the worst possibly laptop you could. Not your fault. Who would have thought this would be difficult
I've restored a toshiba laptop like this. The F12 works but it just doesn't work for bios. And mine has a bios look too. So i just burn iso to another ssd and connect it to dvd drive bay on laptop using a caddy and boot system from there as by default any system will prefer dvd drive over hard disk.
So this is my introduction to your channel courtesy of the algorithm. As far as I can tell, you're the Druaga1 of the next generation. That's definitely a good thing.
As a Linux user this was funny to watch, but you should have gone for a normal Linux distro like EndeavourOS and installed the SteamOS GUI onto that :)
if i was reading it correctly you tried to install Nvidia compatible drivers for an intel integrated graphics that is why you got the terminal login for user it was installed just the GUI wasn't showing cause you lacked the hardware to display it but im not a total expert in the way of linux but i have been trying to use it daily to get better at it
SteamOs is not made for old devices. Something like EndeavourOS or Linux mint XFCE would be much better for such devices, since they aren't UEFI exclusive and have way smaller background usage. And you can play on them nearly as good as on the steam deck. There should be next to none extra incompatibilities compared to steam os (Though 90% won't work on this device because of hardware).
try pressing fn esc. if it uses any recent windows os (windows 7 through 11) what it does is it switches the f key functions, so on a compact laptop keyboard that is built in, it switches from the actual f-key functions, to the brightness, pause, sound controls, full screen, and other

I see a man's descent into madness. The same journey I've endeavored so many times. I look at his eyes, reflected on the blank screen, and I see myself.
Kinda getting DankPods vibes
All we’re missing is a duck and a ipad
and the australian feeling
He definitely takes A LOT of inspiration
Lol thanks for posting these videos. Giving me the urge to not take apart the electronics in my household and run linux on it. Keep it up.
I suffer so you don't have to 🫡
It really hurts me how you tore that cover. As a tech enthusiast, I feel sad whenever a perfectly repairable laptop gets destroy like that.
This thing is a PoS. You're no 'tech enthusiast' if you think this retro junk is even worth using.
@@BuzzingGoober You should realize that many tech enthusiast value ie. Rasberry Pi's a lot and their compute power is miniscule. Actually way less than this laptop. I consider myself "semi" enthusiast as I've built multiple plus 1000€ rigs in the years, but I still have ie. old Pentium laptop with svga and Soundblaster compatible sound with proper "fast" refreshing TFT and I pretty much value it higher than my M-series Macbook Air 😂
That's wild, this is damn near the same exact laptop I had around 2012
Man this video stressed me out lol. Probably picked the worst possibly laptop you could. Not your fault. Who would have thought this would be difficult
Watching all these youtube tinkerers, I thought I was sloppy and careless when messing with tech, but finding your channel boosted my confidence.
11:15 to skip the ad
I've restored a toshiba laptop like this. The F12 works but it just doesn't work for bios. And mine has a bios look too. So i just burn iso to another ssd and connect it to dvd drive bay on laptop using a caddy and boot system from there as by default any system will prefer dvd drive over hard disk.
an OLED screen perhaps? 👀
So this is my introduction to your channel courtesy of the algorithm. As far as I can tell, you're the Druaga1 of the next generation. That's definitely a good thing.
14:10 piggo momento
When you pulled that the thing apart my hart skipped a beat
This video perfectly summarizes why I don't use Linux.
Loved this lmao, I wished every RUclipsr uploaded their projects that didn't go well
8:54 lmao
As a Linux user this was funny to watch, but you should have gone for a normal Linux distro like EndeavourOS and installed the SteamOS GUI onto that :)
if i was reading it correctly you tried to install Nvidia compatible drivers for an intel integrated graphics that is why you got the terminal login for user it was installed just the GUI wasn't showing cause you lacked the hardware to display it but im not a total expert in the way of linux but i have been trying to use it daily to get better at it
you presumed right. he should ave tried the amd/intel version.
this was insanely entertaining good job man
SteamOs is not made for old devices. Something like EndeavourOS or Linux mint XFCE would be much better for such devices, since they aren't UEFI exclusive and have way smaller background usage. And you can play on them nearly as good as on the steam deck. There should be next to none extra incompatibilities compared to steam os (Though 90% won't work on this device because of hardware).
this video literally sums up a weekend in my life dangerously well
put bazzite on this now
The brawl theme as the steam OS logo popped up was beautiful
0:12 what is the name of this game
Super smash bros
Super smash bros. Ultimate
APEX LEGENDS, duh
try pressing fn esc. if it uses any recent windows os (windows 7 through 11) what it does is it switches the f key functions, so on a compact laptop keyboard that is built in, it switches from the actual f-key functions, to the brightness, pause, sound controls, full screen, and other
It's called function lock, I use it alot lol
Love the destiny ps4 at the end. I had a big destiny 1 sticket on my ps4 back in the day. With the first logo.
Watched the entire thing, awesome self depreciating humor!
You need more subs, this channel Is incredible!!
the assumption with the oled screen aged very well
