I still need to play with Haiku (or BeOS).
Much as I like POSIXey stuff, and am perfectly happy with macOS or Linux, a part of me feels like POSIX is an example of the "curse of the good enough". It's nice to see an open source non-Unix getting a bit of love, even if it's still somewhat of a niche audience right now.
- bitigchi 5y agoHaiku is POSIX compatible, thus giving access to a wide software library, while keeping it coherent on the UI-UX side. Native applications are slowly coming through, though.
- pjmlp 5y agoHaiku yes, BeOS not so much, if I recall correctly just a small subset was implemented.
- tombert 5y agoI actually didn't know that. Maybe I should boot Haiku onto one of my secondary PCs and try playing with it.
- bitigchi 5y agoIf you run into any issues, please drop by the forums or the IRC to get assistance.
