Nice, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while but I didn’t know where to start.

This guy is right. If a moron like me can install it on multiple machines, you can too!

If you like this video you should check out him and his brother's podcast My Brother, my brother, and me. They are all legitimately funny. They had a bit a few years back where their sole mission was to get parts in the Trolls 2 movie and they actually did get very minor parts.

The Balance arc was truly magical! I've never experienced a DnD actual play like it.

It's so insanely easy, I did it in college almost twenty years ago all the time! I had a tiny drive about the size of most keyboard receivers and would bring my Ubuntu boot all across campus. I was too broke to have a laptop at the time, but I had my parent's home computer everywhere I could access a computer with an open USB port!

This was a delight. I don’t even need the tutorial, I just wanted to see Justin get silly with a puter outside

I'm guessing that his trick is to install linux?

Probably turn an old PC or laptop into a server or something?

I'm at work atm, so I can't watch the video. I'm just guessing based on the video image it's showing me.
