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
>>106934481cuck license
>>106936558Shitskin socialism typed this.
Is it ready for daily driving?
>>106937140Yes it even runs Photoshop natively
>>106934742to be different
Four years ago, the rustroons made an attack run at Haiku... hey, would you consider rewriting everything to accommodate us? They're worse than Islamists. https://www.reddit.com/r/haikuOS/comments/szufmg/haiku_os_rust/
>>106934481Does it have actual user management or is the user still root
>>106934742As linux gets more popular and shittier, alternatives are appealing
>>106937505No, I couldn’t find anything like that. It’s a neat project, but a bit disheartening that it’s been in development for 23 years and still has so far to go.
>>106934481He's POOR!!!!He's using a THINKPAD!!!!
>>106938440>THINKPADoverpriced crap, but not cheap at all
>>106934481Now, write haikus in notepad++
>>106934725I'd guess.... Never
>thread filled with newfags, tourists and normal niggersthe state o /g
>>106936277Originally BeOS was very good for multimedia, but now without graphics drivers that's kind of a lost cause. It is also designed from the beginning to be a desktop OS, not a server or workstation OS hacked into something useable for normal "consumer" desktop shit.It is comfy and cohesive, and rather snappy though I do worry that most of the recent progress is basically just having a linux compatibility layer, which long term is a trap, imo, as it disincentivizes native, cohesive, development. Why build Haiku apps when you can just run linux apps? And in that case, why even bother with Haiku at all?
>>106934481Now you die.
>>106937451Fucking cancer. Apple had the right idea (in the past) to have a single primary language that everything is written in and everything uses the same system libraries or SDKs or whatever. It's the only way to maintain a cohesive system.
>>106937505It has no user management by designNot everything needs to converge to unix style niggershit
>>106937505that shit never had any sense for end user os.
>>106939953>Why build Haiku apps when you can just run linux apps?Why build linux apps when you can just run windows apps?
>>106934742for it's sovl, you wouldn't get it anon
>>106941719Because in the context of Haiku, it cannot run a Windows program, unless some madmen brought Wine over to Haiku, but this is silly levels or redirection. I'd love to write my own OS, but it's obviously a decades long investment to get anything good, and even if you go full schizo like Terry, one man cannot achieve a lot on his own. Also, with any of these altOS projects, one must always answer the most feared question: Usecase?
