If you write “Haiku OS” on the official forums you’ll quickly be reminded “the name is just Haiku”. But it’s hosted on haiku-os.org presumably because it was available.
In the same way if I search for #Haiku hashtag I get a mix of poetry and computing posts so it does make more sense to use #HaikuOS which avoids confusion.
After two decades of Apple Laptops I am still in awe at the fact that I could easily buy a replacement battery for this T61 Thinkpad that is contemporary with my first G4 iBook (around 2006).
Proudly running #HaikuOS nightly for a few days and from today on actually mobile (previous battery couldn’t hold one minute).
I've been poking a little at a #HaikuOS VM on the side. I'd like to compile some code of my own, plus a couple dependencies. Normally, I'll generate a configure script and give it a prefix of /opt/local.
Does anyone with experience know what the Haiku equivalent of this is?
Nothing like using a less popular OS to grasp the deeply statistical nature of #ChatGPT.
You will easily find shortcuts for windows or popular Linux distributions. But no matter how I formulated the question there’s just no way I could obtain what was the shortcut in #HaikuOS to show the menu of the current app (it’s alt-esc or ctrl-esc depending on keyboard layout settings).
Also me: Come on a 12” sony vaio from 2004 for the equivalent of 44$ ? This thing could run 32 bit #HaikuOS . 1.5GHz and 1GB RAM should be enough for everybody.
I use #HaikuOS nightly happily on the old Thinkpad. I wanted to check how it handled YouTube videos with my playlist but Falkon now crashes exactly after logging in with a Google account. May be it’s when it tries to check for a security key (which I use on other platforms).
And we're off, #KDE frameworks 6.2.0 being pushed to our buildmasters, let's make this happen, I've been maintaining these for quite some time now, time to give to the Haiku people :)
Sidenote, most of the patches included are from the work of @3dEyes, so big thanks there, and the ones working on this prior, miqlas,diver, kallisto, korli (and maybe some I forgot to mention here). Thanks!
So bought a used ThinkPad T61 (core 2 duo 4GB ram) for about 111$ + 30$ for a new battery *
I know I could get a faster CPU for that price but that’s not the point. I am a pervert and want a laptop that is slow (but of quality) to fiddle with lightweight operating systems.
We need a free and transparent alternative to Windows and MacOS. Linux won't cut it; if it could have become a viable desktop OS, it would have by now. So what other choices do we have? Well, there is one...
@ActionRetro When I am president of Brazil I’ll make sure these can be imported tax free to run #HaikuOS. Sadly due to rarity and import tax (to protect local iMac production of course!) these sell for about 500$ over here.
@begasus quite interesting! #HaikuOS sounds like it gets desktop features right more than other OS-es, so it makes sense to have other OS+app run on Haiku rather than the other way around. It should only get better with the Qubes/Tails and #unikernel approaches getting adopted more and more.
For those wanting to try them out it's a matter of setting up a #haikuports repository and import those recipes. Mind you, the full frameworks for KDE on #HaikuOS are 137 packages.
In the meantime, #KDevelop and #Itinerary updated locally to latest beta 24.04.90 :)
In the screenshot, KDevelop building latest sources for itinerary/kosmindoormap.
New at #HaikuOS / #HaikuPorts, #KDE#markdown 23.08.5, a nice plugin that let's you preview your markdown files while editing them in #Kate (and others).
I have just released Renga 1.26
This is an #XMPP client for #HaikuOS which is based on gloox and also a fork of Jabber4BeOS.
This version fixes various crashes and glitches, is compatible with the latest version of libcss for xhtml-im support, and implements the srv records for xmpp over tls (xep-0368). This last change means Renga is now fulfilling all needs for a "core compliance advanced client"!
The step is completing MUC support (moderation, invitations, ...) for basic IM compliance
