25 Years of Haiku: From "Ok, Let's Start" to the Present
- ColdStream 1mo agoBravo! here is to the next 25 years! Haiku is the underdog that just keeps on moving forwards. Every release it gets just a little more complete. There is a vital lesson in Haiku OS. If you benchmark anything on it, it isn't the fastest thing around. Compiling code is about 40% slower than Linux for instance (which is still impressive). But the user experience is absolutely divine. It is the benchmark for responsive UI and it should be a mark of shame on Apple, Microsoft and many Linux desktops that they are being out done by such a small team.

- trimble_tromble 1mo agoYou might be interested in the Vitruvian OS project: https://v-os.dev/ https://v-os.dev/ "V\OS is a Linux-based operating system inspired by BeOS. It brings the simplicity and responsiveness of a classic desktop to modern hardware: custom kernel modules and a BeOS/Haiku API compatibility layer that runs on Linux with minimal to no source changes."

- idontwantthis 1mo agoCan you give me an example of something in Haiku that is a better experience than in MacOS?
- iberator 1mo agomemory usage, extremely snappy gui,
