#Haiku #BeOS #OperatingSystem

[mikehensley]

Whispers of the code,
Silent OS in the breeze,
Dreams in open skies.

I really like that there is still progressive development going on with Haiku. This is one of those passion projects that deserve a little love

[mrtransistor]

Haiku is one of the few operating systems I actually have fun using. Just brings back so much joy to me. I find Haiku really well designed and nice to work with. Other operating systems are just a mess. Riddled with annoying bugs and inconsistencies etc. Haiku isn't perfect, but I feel like this is what a normal, general purpose OS should be like.

[ThePartialGod]

So awesome that someone is shining a light on Haiku, especially now that it's finally approaching usability as a daily driver.

Thank you.

[osgeld]

every goodwill around me takes anything slightly more technical than a lamp and tries to sell it for 100 bucks on their awful auction site or ebay

As someone who actually purchased BeOS back in the 90's, I've been very excited about Haiku for a long time.

Watching this on an old 4:3 Elo touch screen that came out of a Dentist's Office (mounted to the wall in my kitchen).... totally normal computing!

[timhowe]

BeOS was my main driver in the early 00s. Haiku is an exciting project.

[KrishnaDraws]

If Haiku runs that fast on old, outdated hardware, I can only imagine how fast it screams on modern iron. Great video, Sean!

[macsnafu]

Good to see Haiku is still continuing to update and improve. And that somebody is letting people know about Haiku!

[nubius]

thanks for being one of the few places where I know someone will talk about this fun little OS.

[cdigames]

Oh man! I have been looking forward to your thoughts on Beta 5!

[andresbravo]

They fixed all my complaints about the USB Audio device for my Headset!

[kobalt_ren]

7:54 oh I love that era of HP/Compaq aesthetics (my first desktop PC was one of them)

[Xalior]

Came for the eWaste, stayed for the POSIX shell...

I remember installing Haiku for the first time and was weary about how fast it was until it booted without problems.

[bryans]

I enjoy bringing ewaste back to life too, currently have a 2012 OptiPlex running Linux Mint. Maybe I'll give Haiku a try.

[VitorMadeira]

Outstanding! That is got to be IMPRESSIVE!
I'm amazed. Thank you.

[Aeduo]

While I don't care specifically for how that HP laptop looks, I do kinda miss when stuff tried to impress with some kind of visual flair/style, even if it made it look even cheaper. Also useful thickness for having extra ports, expandability, thermals, serivceability, etc.

[MrChancebozey]

BeOS was what we all needed. Great to see it live on in Haiku.
