    Typo: "HiDIP", must have been "HiDPI".

      It's nice to see it progress and apparently a Firefox port is in the works too. Good to know that there's one non-Unix system that's trying to compete.

        Hope they consider having actual security at some point too

          They're aiming for that in glass elevator (ie post R1. R1 is aiming for compatibility with BeOS).

          But I agree, someone could code a screen locking app that starts at boot. The builtin screen lock has a timeout.

            I liked BeOS, and I like Haiku. Such a marvellously pointless effort!

              What is a Haiku?
              An operating system
              for me, they, and you?

                Too bad you cannot have discussions on thier forum without getting banned... was a member there over 10 years and thats what I get for critiquing thier crappy package file system. At one point it was actually a usable OS then they made it new age immutable bullshit which does in fact break some BeOS compatability... which isn't really the Goal anymore. It's like they got poisoned by "gnome think" ... which is the whole reason Pop OS even exists even though they seem intent on persisting with some of the useless UI paradigms.

                I acutally LIKE immutable OS design... for consoles and appliances. But NOT for a power user OS.... its crazy.

                To add insult to injury they could have made it transparent to the user with a log based COW files system... and used conventional package management instead of reinventing the wheel badly. And by badly I mean the half dozen or more sunk cost fallacies that keep it from even being half decent as it is. like non writable config file paths... insanity. Even windows does better than that nonsense with volume shadow copies which you can expose from a NAS running ZFS with snapshots or something like the versioning onedrive does.

                  They're not trying, it cant even run ipv6, their network stack is 20 years old. Don't even think about the GPU side of thing.
                  Treat it as a little hobbyist OS

                    Stop trying to make IPv6 happen, it's not going to happen. (Unfortunately! My ISP doesn't even support it yet...)
