Project of the day (day 2) 2023, Thursday, August 24th
#WacOS : https://github.com/seanpm2001/WacOS
WacOS is an operating system project that aims to allow the look, feel, and functionality of all #Apple operating systems and bundled software (including, but not limited to: System 1-6, Classic #MacOS, Mac OS X, OS X, MacOS (modern), #iPhoneOS, #iOS, #iPadOS, #NewtonOS, S.O.S, GS/OS, #tvOS, #NeXTSTEP, #watchOS, #Siri, #MacPaint, #MacWrite, etc.) in an open-source, and unrestricted way.
WacOS is also a dual-kernel operating system, which utilizes both the #Linux Kernel and the #Darwin Kernel.
It is a major project, with over a hundred repositories, but it isn't functional yet. It is also my second most popular project (as of 2023, Thursday, August 24th) with 41 stars. It is a major endeavor, and needs some love. It is written in over 50 different programming languages, due to its complexity and its scale. Anyone who is interested can start a discussion, raise an issue, or send a pull request.

Today's dev rel blog article is on my experience of designing an operating system for a retro computer system inspired by some lesser known OSes.

The result of some farting around. I’m still running up against a little annoyance with the panels (see the top left).
Editing the “next” gtk theme to make the bars slightly larger and add borders to the windows was a chore but I’m pretty happy with the results.
I tried theming the clock plugin to look a little more like on NEXTSTEP but the result was not great so I just stuck with drawing it with a 7-seg TTF. Still a little silly but not too bad, I think.

I'm curious now how difficult it would be for a novice such as me to modify the clock widget to look exactly like that goofy NEXTSTEP clock.
Looks interesting: https://onflapp.github.io/gs-desktop/index.html (via https://www.osnews.com/story/136326/a-new-gnustep-desktop-comes-to-debian/) #gnustep #openstep #nextstep
I still want an Amiga 2.04 UI on a modern OS but I suspect I'd hate it now...

@Markus this #NEXTstep on a #Sun machine for real?
Cuz this looks like a @NanoRaptor - style #Shitpost...

While doing some reading about #SusanKare's work for NeXT, I discovered that #KeithOhlfs passed away in 2016. He designed most of the #NeXTstep's system icons and the fixed width #Ohlfs font used in its Terminal application (still my favorite font for shell, text files, and coding). His 32x32 pixel artistry inspired me to create the next-icon mailing list, where hundreds of NeXTSTEP-based icon artists exchanged their custom app and folder icons.

I know #vi, and all the other command line tools. But I still ask myself why I need them in 2023. I am not a techie, not a nerd and I dont want to be a unix admin. I want to use the machine. Not make it a hobby. I was a #unix sysadmin in the 90s, #HPUX, #AIX, Interactive Unix, Motiv, X-Windows, Looking Glass, #SunOS, #Solaris, but then, thanks God, #NextStep.
Getting back to Pop!OS. They explain why hibernation is not setup by default. But give a very good, excellent explanation how to do it

@izaya @a1ba The old #NeXTSTEP / #WindowMaker / #GNUstep styled menus are simply good at what they do.
Which is what I think they inspired themselves from.

@mira Those dockable widgets were THE BEST!

My contribution to #Marchintosh:
* #MacOS 12.6 in KVM
* Alongside #MacOS 7.5.3 running inside ShapeShifter on #CommodoreAmiga in WinUAE.
* Alongside #NeXTSTEP on a NeXT Turbo Cube with NXDIM 3.3 in Previous
* Alongside #Apple2 in Applewin
All on #Linux, all @ 100% speed :)

We're conscious that today is the day that many children find out which secondary school they are heading off to next year.
Praying for those delighted, those disappointed, and wisdom for parents and carers as they work out any next steps; do join us.
