Not even the haiku community can name one, they just treat it like a senile grandparent kek
>>107020158Fallback in case linux and BSD get compromised.
Because it's cool
same use case as any other os

if anyone can find a usecase for haiku, it's this man

A coupl'a sortof failed papes I made some years ago. If anyone cares, they could be touched up and look better.

In the "real world", Haiku has found a niche in the radio industry.https://www.tunetrackersystems.com/about_haiku.htmlHaiku is an achingly beautiful system inside and out, but not enough people are writing native applications for it.
>>107020387i watch most of his videos, and i'm still not sure i would say i actually like the channel. the content is interesting, but the videos just aren't long or detailed enough, like they're all just previews for other videos, you know?
>>107020652And, by "made" I mean I made some shitty edits from some other work I found at the time. I was pretty excited by Haiku then (and even willing to try again now), but I borked the install at the time and never went back to it.
>>107020671This and the next ones were original files from someone else I used for source material.

>>107020173Nothing ever happens.>>107020178>>107020662I want to believe that it could become viable one day, but besides it's totally unique design it just seems like it has already been beat to the punch in creating a normie alternative to windows/Apple by mint and ubuntu respectively. Maybe a few more years in the oven and it'll be able to really hold it's own.
>>107020158Play around with BeOS
>>107020647more anime-ish art I made before sleeping. If this thread is still up tomorrow, I'll fix it's issues.
Haiku is cool but I think the main issue is not people porting software to it but the fact that it's security is entirely through obscurity. It's gonna work only as long as it will.
>>107020662haikus is light because it has almost no features.linux can be made light because its such a customizable system.you can also tweak the scheduler and preemptive multitasking for priority tweaking.
>>107020158this guy did some work on compiling stuff from pkgsrc on haiku.if you can make this work for more packages then haiku is on its way to becoming a full fledged system.
>>107021504link>https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=haiku+pkgsrc
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hpkgsrc/this is the kind of stuff you need to focus on
>>107021040haiku is probably on it's own in terms of a maintained, relatively capable, yet still single-user system, pretty unique in that aspect, but pretty incompatible with modern threats
>>107020158oh shit. i just found this on the official site:https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/tree/masteri tried haiku some 16 yeears ago. it seems to have gotten much further now.
they just ported mixxx these days, it seems the contributors are very engaged and competent, they love their project.
>>107021581BeOS was known for it's low-latency, responsive, multi-threading nature. not exactly unique nowadays, so i'm not sure exactly how beos and by extension, haiku, compared to other modern operating systems in this regard, but it's not surprising to see audio applications being ported to it, since that was one of it's defining draws back in the day

>>107023653Thank you for this. Saved.>>107026282There are a number of AI slop threads. Go knock yourself out. You can probably get an inflation vid while you're at it.
>>107021040BeOS was always envisioned as a single user multimedia OS that threw away legacy cruft, including the idea of client-server and accounts everywhere. It was a deliberate choice.If it's that big of an issue just encrypt your personal files.
>>107021626At the time it came out? Every other OS was a joke by comparison. It was competing with Win95. You could even boot to it from within Win95. It got glide support fairly quickly so accelerated games started getting ported. The OS was fast, it was great for multimedia, it booted very quickly. MS just abused monopoly powers to prevent Be from being installed by default on computers. Be Inc. sued them for it and IIRC won $26 million in court.
>>107027260>If it's that big of an issue just encrypt your personal files.This. Personally I'm tired of having to enter passwords all the time on my personal computers and I appreciate it when it's not mandatory.
>>107024806Give examples
>>107020158>think I've finally found the right os for my crappy 32bit hp notebook that I keep around as a novelty>trying to boot the installation medium crashes into the kernel debuggerFug
>>107028660Are you using Ventoy? Haiku always crashes from booting from there for some reason.
>>107028719No, installed it on a flash drive. Maybe I'll try crying on their forums tomorrow if I can be bothered, I'm going to bed
Its fun to use
We should all get together and develop software for it.I propose making something we'll call DGL/DeeGay.This will be a scripting language that exposes Haiku's native GUI toolkit in such a way that you can write complex graphical apps with only a few lines of code.
>>107028868We already have Yab.
>>107028660>>107028726Sometimes this seems to be it not liking the USB or the optical drive or whatever, but if you can actually get it installed onto the internal drive it will often boot fine. I did this on one machine by doing a crazy in-place install by booting the ISO in a VM on Linux with raw access to the disk. Swapping the drive to another machine that will boot the install media would work too.Not related to your problem, but on some older machines like that it might not support any kind of CPU scaling. Which may or may not be an issue depending on the hardware.

>>107023653nice
>>107028660man i've got an old install working on a 2002 HP laptop, but i think 32 bit support dried up when they stopped officially supporting ancient BeOS programs
tried using this as a "daily" on one of my laptops, its just not ready yet... lack of support, drivers etc
fun
>>107020662one company using it (primarily because they used BeOS before) doesn't make it a niche
>>107028896>>107030567> you have to specify widget positions as pixel coordinates> the guy on youtube admits that the yab documentation is missing important things like specifying fonts, who knows what else it's missingIt sounds like a fun toy but it doesn't sound like it would be great for serious apps. I think we could do something better.
