🌍 Exciting news for the #HaikuOS community! We're discussing the revival of User Groups worldwide. Join the conversation on standardizing names, making groups more engaging, and enhancing collaboration. Let's strengthen our community together! 💪 #OpenSource #Community https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/thoughts-on-the-reopening-of-haiku-os-user-groups/13936

From time to time I take a look at #haikuos, to see what’s new. Every time I think to myself: „I’m not sure if Haiku wouldn’t be the better desktop OS“.

I usually run that as a VM on a different, not very beefy host. All of the UI gets send via the network and I think I it’s just using some VESA drivers. The whole OS is so darn fast and fun to use. Yes, there are a lot of apps missing and therefore it wouldn’t be a good daily driver. But it’s also not very far from it.

Screw it all. We’re installing Haiku tonight! #haikuos #beos #toomuchtimeonmyhands

First BeGeistert took place in Düsseldorf, Germany, at December 12, 1998. 👨🏻‍💻🧑🏼‍💻👩🏽‍💻 #BeGeistert #HaikuOS #BeOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeGeistert

Okay, I found out why #Haiku didn’t boot: in the BIOS settings, I needed to change the SATA operation mode from “RAID On” to “AHCI”. And now, it boots like a charm!

@msBeeBop Ohh cool! Then you'll be fine, you know what you're doing!

I think I remember it didn't support the video on my 2018 ThinkPad properly, so it gave me a 4:3 SVGA display mode stretched to 16:9 HiDPI. I forget if it worked okay on my 2012-era MacBook Pros. But I don't think I've tried Haiku Beta 4 yet, hope things have improved!

I did run BeOS R5 & yellowTAB Zeta as my main OS in the early 2000s for a while, so I'd like #HaikuOS to succeed!

I've been trying to install #Haiku on some real hardware for the past few hours and I'm not getting past this screen, and a Haiku boot loader that can't find the freshly installed OS.

I tried using MBR and GPT partition tables, different partitioning tools, running writembr in the terminal myself after installable was complete, even hex-edited my MBR at some point, but still no Haiku for me. 🙁

Today's @haiku|s 22th birthday! Congratulations! 🎉 #HaikuOS #BeOS https://www.haiku-os.org

#HaikuOS Activity & Contract Report, July 2023 is out now: https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2023-08-15_haiku_activity_contract_report_july_2023/

looking back 20 years when I was browsing #haikuos repositories wishing I could write c++
today after a career and learning my shit and being able to code anything I want
then it was lack of skill now it's lack of time/energy/money and constantly rescaling my own expectations.
learning to code is now easier than it's ever been. I think we'll have many interesting things ahead of us.

Ancient MacBook Air did slightly better with EFI/64-bit #HaikuOS: it displayed the boot screen before freezing!

Note the white border at the bottom though.

@amanda Antar att #HaikuOS kräver en windows-/linuxdator att installeras på, det går väl inte som parallellsystem ens på nya.macar? Det låter intressant iaf.

I’ve decided to put my money where my mouth is and donate $10 monthly to #HaikuOS. I hope it will work on some hardware I can use in the near future and that someone finds a way to smoothly write user-facing applications using the standard API in Rust and then it’d practically be my dream OS.

Michael MJD also published a video about @haiku|‘s successor #BeOS. You really need a #retromachine to use that. It also has a 2k11/time bug where you can get past the year 2010. That was new to me. Despite that it is quite astonishing how responsive this old #OperatingSystem runs on old hardware. If you’re interested, try #HaikuOS.

Michael MJD published a nice video on #youtube about @haiku . Good first insight, if you are interested in #alternative #operationsystems that are different from #Linux or #BSD. It’s origins go back to #BeOS and the #BeBox in the 1990s. #RetroComputing #retro #haiku #HaikuOS #OS #AlternativeOS

Apparently there's a thing called #FollowFriday. Here are some open source projects that I think you should follow. #liblouis #riscv #haikuOS #CrossPlatformActions #rust https://liblouis.io/ https://riscv.org/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ https://github.com/cross-platform-actions https://www.rust-lang.org/

My goal is to eventually have a FLOSS OS for this machine that’s on par with early 00’s OS X or at least Mac OS 9.

I think my best hope is #SerenityOS or #HaikuOS, and that a reasonable timescale is maybe 5-10 years.
