As a long time BeOS (and Haiku) developer, I agree that the design is significantly cleaner. Your argument however is significantly false. Haiku has several design problems in the Kernel and the Filesystem, any serious use other than hobbyist is quite limited. Definitely Linux could have a better Desktop, but saying that the Haiku design is less fundamentally fragile is a complete lie. Linux desktop may be more conservative, and may not really adhere to a truly common standard, but they offer several orders of magnitude more what Haiku could hope to have by far. This includes Security, IPC capabilities, Virtualization, Containerization. Android is an example of a Linux platform, that still retains an high number of native apps, coherence of UI etc.
- waddlesplash 6y agoLinux has a lot more features than Haiku, for sure, but a lot of these are oriented towards servers, which we probably will never implement because we are not targeting servers. Obviously there are others which we will eventually implement, sooner or later (like virtualization). However, I have no idea what you mean when you say that Haiku's kernel and filesystem has "several design problems."
