Great project, but let's just make this year the year of the Linux Desktop!

• xattt 9mo ago
  With significant progress for Linux on the desktop this year, I propose it’s time to move the goalposts: - 2027, the year of ReactOS - 2028, the year of Haiku - 2029, the year of TempleOS

    I get the joke, but Haiku could indeed have its year because it's the only one of these OSs that has Firefox running. Do you need anything else? (ok, some hardware support would be nice, I guess)

    Haiku has gazillions of modern software and got NVIDIA drivers recently. Things are looking pretty bright for Haiku.

      I like Haiku tech... to not too fond of the window chrome amd ux style myself... It's like every window has a pan-handle.

        With Haiku I like that I can use the computer without having to resort to dark mode like the other operating systems. The other systems are just too bright, while Haiku interface is warm and on-point.

        Legacy of BeOS.
        • tracker1 9mo ago
          I get that... I didn't like it in BeOS either... It just feels off, the more time spent on more recent alternatives (Windows, Mac, Linux+Cosmic/Gnome/Kde...). Similarly, trying to use OS/2's desktop also feels more and more alien as the years pass. I mean, I get trying something different and/or sticking to a legacy, but there's also being usable to today's users.
