/dht/ - Daily Haiku Thread

Welcome to the /dht/ - Daily Haiku Thread

Earlier Thread: Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Look buddy, I'm also a haikufag like you, but if you want to generate attention around it, you gotta use bait.
>What is the best OS and why is it Haiku?

and others. Generals and dailies should only come naturally, stop forcing /dht/ - Daily Hormone Therapy, wait until someone spawns it.

gentoo

I don't like how the length of a title bar depends on the length of the window title. But that's not very different from how the length of a menu tab depends on the length of the tab title which is the norm. I guess what I'm trying to say is all OS GUIs are shit. Anyway, interesting OS that probably deserves more attention.

Another fucking general? Fuck off already.

What would be interesting for you in Haiku?

I started it but somebody took the template and pressing hard. I'm not against it howewer.

I don't actually want to use Haiku. I just want to skin a Linux distro to look like it. What should I use?

Its default browser is missing an ad blocker.

>freenode
Move to Rizon

Debian with XFCE

Does this really need a general.

Absolutely.

It is a nice OS, but it is not in beta yet (almost). Also, I don't want to use a OS with only VESA mode available.

You can make XFCE looks like Haiku easily.

This is far better than the endless battle station threads.

>I don't want to use a OS with only VESA mode available.
There are accelerants for supported graphics card, not just VESA.

Does this OS have proper 3d/hardware acceleration with real drivers yet, or does it suck dicks?
Choose one answer.

It does not support hardware acceleration.

Not all of us have a 3Dfx voodoo, user.
Some of us use modern hardware.

So it sucks dicks. Got it, cya useless thread and crappy useless OS.

Actually, there are modern hardware accelerants, such as intel_extreme which supports most intel integrated graphics.

Is there any news of the fork that uses the Linux Kernel?

Not that I know of.

I'll redpill you:
Some years ago, a Haiku developer injerted the Haiku API and Userland in a Linux Kernel.
It ran really great and the drivers stopped being an issue, of course.
I wonder if there's any interest to retake that project. I know that the kernel development is interesting and its one of the cores of the project, but Haiku could be benefited of renounce to it and just use Linux.

That sounds like a pretty good project. Hopefully that project becomes active again.

>doesn't do acceleration

I hope. They could concentrate only in patch the kernel to make get easy go along with haiku and bring a nice userland experience.

That's what it's called. Not my choice since I'm not a developer.

haiku is trash. sorry boomers, BeOS was legit but that time has passed, you need to move on, 15+ years have passed!
