- navjack27 8y agoYou can pretty much put all other applications support on hold. If you get modern web browsing that opens up so many web apps. WebPositive is a joke. Otter isn't quite stable.
- waddlesplash 8y ago> built in support for kaby lake refresh wifi What chipset is that? I just merged new drivers for the Intel PRO wireless chipsets and Intel "Dual Band" chipsets; so if it's one of those it might work out of the box now. > a modern web browser Well, WebPositive can play YouTube and mostly works on major sites ... but yes, this is a difficult problem.
- zlynx 8y agoThis article is about Rust and Haiku, so maybe Haiku should look into building a Servo GUI layer. Rust and Servo are already good for massive multithreading, so that should fit into the Haiku expectations pretty well.
- waddlesplash 8y agoServo seems to depend pretty heavily on hardware acceleration, which we don't have, so it probably wouldn't work too well. We don't have time to implement that; but someone else is certainly free to put the time in...
