2022 seems like it will be a great year for Haiku:
- They have a (one) full-time developer working on the general stability of the system and better hardware and general driver support (and many more things)
- X512 still tackling graphics acceleration, compositing, multi-monitor support and occasional cool stuff like this
- ARM/ARM64 port seeing active commits
- Much better Intel graphics hardware support merged already
- QtWebEngine already ported and opening the way for working web browsers
- Native WebKit port preparing for upstreaming and WebPositive again seeing fixes after a long time
If the project had better financials, it would greatly help securing the project's continuous development.
- guerrilla 5y agoHell yes, I remember going to Macworld in the late 90's and being blown away by BeOS and BeBoxes. It's about time that stuff starts to get some respect. Very happy to see a "429 Too Many Requests" on haiku-os.org right now :)
- dleslie 5y agoIntel Graphics support? That means it might make a decent personal desktop OS for Intel NUC devices.
- bitigchi 5y agoNo graphics acceleration yet though.
- Acrobatic_Road 5y agoI am tempted to buy another laptop just to put Haiku on it.
- bebop 5y agoI bought a cheap lenovo “workstation” ~400 usd mostly to run haiku. Laptops tend to be a little more difficult as they tend towards more “exotic” hardware.
