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.
get a proper desktop that doesnt look like windows 98 and people will actually consider using haiku

There are some human fellows who aren’t interested in eye candy.

whats the state of browsers on haiku these days? i heard theyre abandoning webpositive and theyre working on a firefox esr port, but its extrmely unstable and very much a WIP, is that true?
my main use case is shitposting on desktop threads so as you can imagine neofetch, adblocking, and userscripts are all i really care about to bother installing it.

There is no plan to abandon WebPositive in favour of Firefox, but there is ongoing work to replace Webkit1 backend with Webkit2 in WebPositive. Haiku project will never port Firefox, if the community needs it, then they should do the heavy lifting, as FF doesn’t match with the vision of the project.
Webkit2 will allow WebPositive to have own thread for every tab, plugins and adblocker.

They currently switching from webkit1 to webkit2. GSoC student doing it.

Almost forgot: Haiku switched to GCC8.3 some weeks ago and it is already available in nightly builds.

I've been meaning to check this out and thanks to a back injury, I might be able to finally do so this weekend. Any good options for things like video editing?
