Default username: psychos
Default password: linux

Base GNU/Linux distribution: Devuan
Included Live ISO's after install (added to GRUB): FreeDOS, KalibriOS

I would have included 'zypper,' but I was running out of room

PsychOS is a "better to have and not need than to need and not have" type of GNU/Linux distribution that is based off of a 32-bit (i686) version of Devuan ASCII, a systemd-free system. What that also means is that this system contains lots of software, codecs, firmware, etc. with the goal of if the "shit hits the fan," you can still get some work (or play) done. Extra repositories were included just in case something was missed (disabled by default); however, please make sure to only enable those repositories if installing software as opposed to upgrading, which may cause issues. And for what you cannot find, there are plenty of included tools to create what you need.

PsychOS also includes extra packages and settings for various applications to provide a better "out-of-the-box" experience as opposed to the user having to setup the same things most do anyway or wondering why a program doesn't work because they don't know how to configure it correctly. This is a system mainly for "broke as hell" creatives, old-school programmers, and college students. Web developers, remote compiling nut-jobs, and PC gamers (unless creating a game) need not bother; these types will more than likely find this system frustrating as it has been hardened in a way to make neophites cringe. In other words, PsychOS is designed to be used as a desktop, not as a means to keep your old computer barely alive in a resting home (VM, SSH, remote, etc.).

Devuan ASCII was chosen not just for it being systemd-free but also because Devuan ASCII is a fork of Debian, which is incredibly stable, "insanely" so, and I expect that when most GNU/Linux systems abandon older computers (kernel updates killing two birds with one stone?) that the developers and/or hobbyists for Debian will do everything they can to continue support for as long as they can. However, because it's 32-bit, PsychOS will run just fine on both old and new computers, including some Macbooks; I even had a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter working just fine if that has ever been an issue (has for me on other distros). Please make sure to look at the Release Notes.

This is a satirical trailer for the GNU/Linux distribution "PsychOS." You should be able to find the original version somewhere on this channel.

CLIMax, as in "Command-Line Interface Max" and pronounced as "climax", is a BASH script made by TheOuterLinux that is included with PsychOS (see other posted videos) for those who want to play around in the command-line but don't have much experience. However, if you do have experience, it still may be useful in saving you time.

PsychOS is an awesome Devuan-based, GNU/Linux operating system intended for "broke-as-hell" college students and retrophiles that just want a desktop experience that will run on pretty much any x86 (32 and 64-bit) computer made in the last 15 or so years. You can get the latest copy of PsychOS here: https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io. It is a relatively large ISO (almost 4GB) because it is a "It's better to have and not need than to need and not have," type of distribution with many things tweaked right out of the box for you so you don't have to do much if anything.

StreamPi is designed to help people with older x86 computers and lighter ARM devices that cannot run newer screen-casting or live streaming tools because of higher-end graphics-related requirements.

Originally, StreamPi was created to run from the command-line on a Raspberry Pi (hence the name) using dialog as a TUI (Terminal User Interface) with the ability to run both in X AND console (with limitations). However, I do realize that not everyone is comfortable with the command-line. So, I decided to create an actual GUI (Graphical User Interface) version this time around. The interface should run fine as long as your system has GAMBAS available.

Note-worthy features:
* Monitor Twitch and Picarto stream stats
without needing authentication (read-only)
* Image Overlay (see after recording or while
monitoring live stream)
* Use notify-send to display IRC** log chat as
well as Follow alerts
* Auto translate IRC** chat displayed with
notify-send
* Store up to 3 RTMP urls
* Torify your live stream for extra privacy
* Crop-out parts of your screen to hide things
such as panels
* Record or live stream all connected and
enabled monitors all in one go
* Automatically uses current sound server such
as PulseAudio, ALSA, or JACK
* Quickly launch a music playing program with
selected folder or playlist and have volume
auto-adjusted to prevent errors or panic
* Use system's default ffmpeg or use a
pre-compiled version instead
* Monitor your live stream

**Currently, Twitch (as of early 2019) still supports IRC for chatting, as well as a few commands, including interacting with bots. However, there is no reason why you couldn't also setup an IRC channel for your live stream as an alternative for those that don't want to create an account for whatever streaming service you decide to use. StreamPi includes a "Wizard" to help you use IRC clients to chat on Twitch.

I found a really cool translator script that only needs gawk (gnu awk) to work. However, I’ve attempted to “beef it up” by creating a “front-end” of sorts that uses dialog to make it easier to do things like:

Scan and translate
Open document or image file and translate
Type and translate
Conversation
Highlight text and translate
Interactive Translate Shell
Settings

For the first two items to work, you will need some extra packages installed such as tesseract-ocr, poppler-tools, and able to run “soffice –headless.” The video lists what you’ll need, and be sure to check out any links in the description. Also, note that file-paths blurred-out in my videos typically refers to my home folder. I take privacy very seriously.

However, please also note that I have included this script with my GNU/Linux distro "PsychOS 3."

Using this script (https://gitlab.com/TheOuterLinux/BitChuteNotes/blob/master/Command-Line/09 - Command-Line - Editing images in the command line/image-edit), you can edit images easily in the command line. Dailog as an interface allows keyboard, mouse, and space bar for auto-completion. If you are in GUI, images are previewed with your default viewer; if you are in TTY, fbi (frame-buffering image-viewer) is used. This is not for batch editing.

This is a video of me using a Python script I came up with to convert modern image formats into DATA arrays for easily adding small sprites, graphics or title screens for QuickBasic or FreeBASIC projects. However, if using large WxH sizes, then you will want to use FreeBASIC instead as QuickBasic will throw an error on DATA arrays larger than 160x100 and QB also has a much lower memory limit. Besides, FreeBASIC includes a mouse out-of-the-box, making it a possibility to easily create point-and-click stories; it's just a thought...

In this video, only to prove a point, I use MakeHuman to quickly create a 3D model of a person, Blender to render the model, GIMP to get rid of the background, and then img2qb to create the BASIC scripts to compile using the DOS version of FreeBASIC on DOSBox.

In the video I only made a 16-color and a 256-color version of the image; however, img2qb will also do black and white and CGA colors. The preview images it also produces are for use with modern game engines that need an accurate color palette. And yes, I went through each and every color number in QB and got the RGB values to create the palettes.
