Miso I've been trying Haiku OS today. Has anyone tried?

💎 Mā I tried out their live USB image back in April. Amazing the progress they've been making over the years. I used ZetaOS way back...
🧐 Nrmn Years ago, yes. I think first when it was still BeOS but I gave it another try later when it became Haiku. I even tried to port some network device drivers over from Linux. Not sure if I made it but I guess not.
⚙️ Vdo Yeah many times, I also tried BeOS back then, and I loved the simplicity and the look of it. I wish there was a bigget community around it to port software to it, it could be a nice alternative to *NIX OSes.
Miso true! What OS do you currently use these days?
👨‍💻 Matthieu V. Never ! What are its advantages ?
Miso I think it's the simplicity. Which is not quite true yet because it's a beta. I personally love the aesthetics. It's very "nostalgic-looking".
👉 Léo Years ago! I think I tried it in a VM when they released their first alpha. I remember it was pretty cool, everything that was supposed to work worked fine! Of course, I didn't really have anything to do with it and eventually just deleted the VM. What are your thoughts so far? Do you have a use case in mind?
Miso I like the simplicity and focus on personal computing. Their UX philosophy is very good as well. I don't know how different it is from BeOS. No real use-case but I'm curious to see how the experience would be if I used it more for browsing/email. Let's see :)
👉 Léo Awesome! Good luck with your experiment. In the meantime, I'll continue using windows 7! (Work computer, don'tcare enough to upgrade)
Miso Thanks! I'll probably be rumbling here about the experience ;)
