  Within the Amiga community there's a certain level of admiration for HaikuOS, as BeOS/HaikuOS is seen by these individuals as a spiritual successor to AmigaOS. As you point out, AROS is the open-source reimplementation of AmigaOS, so it's worth mentioning it, I just wanted to clarify why the Amiga+Haiku link might have been made.

    Much appreciated! I wasn’t lucky enough to have an Amiga, I only had a PCjr. I did see them in the store and listed after them.

    Those of you discussing Amiga might find this comment from skrzyp interesting: https://lobste.rs/s/vkpekg/morphos_3_10_released#c_ktgnn3 https://lobste.rs/s/vkpekg/morphos_3_10_released#c_ktgnn3 It gives a huge, deep history lesson from author's perspective covering important events, hardware/software, and especially the culture. It was fascinating. Also made me hold off on MorphOS for one of my projects.

      Thanks for sharing the comment, but it's got a number of inaccuracies. For example... > "The problem was that OS wasn’t completely prepared for that, but clever people from Phase5 found a way - they made their own microkernel (called PowerUP, later WarpUP)" PowerUP and WarpUP were competitors, and were the seeds for the later Red vs. Blue civil war. If you'd like a clearer history of the Amiga, I'd recommend this series of articles on Ars Technica (it doesn't mention AROS, but is otherwise a good introduction): https://arstechnica.com/series/history-of-the-amiga/ https://arstechnica.com/series/history-of-the-amiga/
