BeOS-Inspired Haiku Enabling More Intel Hardware & Driving Kernel Optimizations

[zexelon]

I'm not going to lie, if someone had done that with Windows 2000 I would have been pretty happy. No eye candy, but boringly stable and functional.

TBH, they are... its called React OS. Its also slightly more useful then Haiku (but not much)!

The BeOS desktop design was questionable back when BeOS still existed. A project like this tries to maintain the original BeOS design and allow it to work on newer hardware (the things people spend their time on). Yet if BeOS hadn't failed and continued on, I'm sure it would have gone through many design changes over the years.

It would be like if Microsoft went out of business shortly after the release of Windows 3.1, and over the years people tried to maintain the Windows 3.1 design, working on newer hardware.

Complete cockamie.

Android material design is based on beos clean designs.

Dianne Hackborn of android even came from Be:

While on one hand I always admire how much results people achieve when working together, on the other hand I must state there's still a few little humans feeling the right to criticize what others do in their spare time.

Having said that, I just love 90's look in OSs because of the simple & clean approach, so I welcome linux+Mate, linux+Xfce, Haiku and SerenityOS.
And I'm here betting a lot of people will love a stable release of ReactOS too.

So maybe you like SerenityOS?

At a minimum, it is a far more modern design than UNIX. By many decades.

Nobody really uses UNIX anymore.

I'm Haikuing. I don't care about your objections to the OS' existence. I've not run this, and used BeOS once in 1999.

Clearly not for you
This OS you like to poo poo
Nothing for you here

Haiku OS continues to thrive
A testament to the dev's incredible tenacity
One cannot disregard thier effort

YES COMRADE GPT!

//effort spent on another useless gizmo

PS "thrive".. comrade GPT needs to work on his hallucinations tbh

Has someone made a sanity check if such an ancient concept holds up to the requirement of the modern world?

What security model
for ludic Operating System VMs?
Die fast mum.

But keep images in case there's art for ages!
