I've been following Haiku OS off and on since I was 10 (I'm 21 now) and it's been really nice to see it actually progress in a substantial and noticeable way since I first found out about it.

It's been years since I booted Be or Haiku, might have to have a play again

I was always curious but never got around to it. No better time than now!

Looks pretty cool actually, now I just need some more hardware. How is wireless support?

[–] edgerunneralexis@dataterm.digital 2 points 1 year ago

No idea honestly! But I have to imagine it'll support old thinkpads lol

Last time I booted BeOS was about 1998, on a PowerPC Apple clone. It was so freaking ahead of it's time. I've spent the last 5+ years just getting comfortable, and loving, a tiling window manager. I can't see going to Haiku myself, but it is so awesome what they've accomplished.
