Ok, what now?
>>106934481Now you're here.
>>106934481Hi, Haiku shill N1 here. Sadly I know this is just a VM, OP... But I'm glad that /g/ is starting to love Haiku as much as I do!If you want to contribute, porting stuff is a nice way.
Raptor lake + blackwellAm I going to be able to actually install haiku and what would my experience be like?
>>106934481I have absolutely no idea what this flavor of the month linux distro/gender/mental illness is, but I remember trying BEOS in like 2005 and that looked literally like that.
a fucking leafakku
>>106934481Haiku OS glows,New world boots, but path unclear—Guides and clicks to roam.
>>106934481It was pretty good when it was BeOS.That was a contender to be the next OSX.However, it was always more of a desktop OS rather than a server OS. That’s definitely not a bad thing though, Windows are still shit servers.
>>106934541I used BeOS as a main OS for fun in the really early 00's,
>>106934529It's certainly a VM. My first impression was that everything was very fast and snappy (host in Win11, hyper-V-- which inverts my mouse). I'm literally like a boomer in front of it though, so I'll have to dig deeper to see if I actually love it.
3d acceleration when?
>>106934481>yet another os even more incompatible and unsupported than linuxwhat's the fucking point?
>>106934541Haiku is literally a continuation of BeOS from the original source code. If you run the 32-bit version then you can even run old BeOS programs on it unmodified. But Haiku supports modern browsers/apps/package management/etc. and can actually be usable.
>>106934553I did the same. Don't remember I think I dual booted with NT 4.0.
>>106934742Linux has had 30 years to make an impact, and it just sucks. It’s nice to have alternatives.
Sell me on Haiku/BeOS. What’s the usecase?
>>106934725You don’t need that.
>>106935342Uhh yes you do
>>106934481I wish you could run steam on here with proton, I would have switched 500 years ago. It has a lot of aura as the kids say.
Depending on how stable the actual OS is having Firefox might actually make this daily driveable for me.
>>106935254Sometimes an altOS can just exist for white autists to tinker with without needing a specific usecase. You would understand if you were white.
>>106935345I was just being a lintard. Looks like some progress is being made with nvidia drivers. https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/haiku-nvidia-porting-nvidia-driver-for-turing-gpus/16520
is it possible to change the icon theme? It's a bit too cartoony for me.
>haikuOS on main pc
>>106935124The worst part thinking back now is that if you had compatible hardware, it actually worked really well and the software support wasn't even that bad.
I'm getting a new PC soon, I might put Haiku on my old one since Haiku has a real web browser now.
>>106934481Based. Nails absolutely everything troonix failed at, particularly being a pleasant, cohesive desktop OS for whites.
>>106934541holy newfag.
>>106935407Let's rephrase the question. For an autist white man, why Haiku over the myriad of other altOS choices? From my limited understanding, the appeal seems to be in the cohesive design of a complete system as opposed to the fragmented landscape of linux.
>>106936277I've heard that the Beos user interface is really snappy, at least when haiku isn't bugging out
Install Gentoo
