Perhaps I would like to build a dedicated Haiku box. What is the optimal hardware configuration to run Haiku on bare metal? I don't mean as cheap as possible, I mean as compatible as possible and also rather performant. The release notes mention nVidia GeForce 6200 - GeForce Go 6400 graphics cards - are these the best for Haiku?

There are two unofficial and incomplete hardware compatibility lists: https://sites.google.com/view/haiku-computer-list-beta2 https://sites.google.com/view/haiku-computer-list-beta2 https://besly.de/index.php/en/hardware/unofficel-compatibility-list https://besly.de/index.php/en/hardware/unofficel-compatibili... (edit: newer list: https://besly.de/index.php/en/hardware/besly-system-analysis-tool-2 https://besly.de/index.php/en/hardware/besly-system-analysis...) Not really sure what exactly would be optimal, but Haiku's pretty performant on virtually any relatively modern hardware (less than 10 years old and not overly cheap) since it's so light.

I run it on a x230 and am happy with the results.

  How is sleep/hibernate/resume and powersaving/battery use in general?

    There are power saving features like turning off individual CPU cores, but sleep/hibernate/resume is not implemented yet. Any help is welcome.

Intel integrated video tends to have the best success in my experience.
