I think it’s just fair to mention this so people don’t think it’s yet another Linux flavor.
I often have to make this point clear when talking to people about Haiku.
Still a very positive article about Haiku and one that actually covers serious stuff and not just retro gaming and other unrelated stuff.
It’s still one of the best tech sites out there, and the puns are just hilarious;-)
I mean, this feels so good, and you Haiku core devs deserve it
Haiku is something else – both in the colloquial sense, meaning that it’s remarkable, extraordinary, outstanding – and in the literal sense that it’s unrelated to Windows, Linux, or anything else. It’s sleek, slick, and fast to a degree no Linux distro can even rival. It looks great, in a minimal late-1990s sort of way, unlike most other OSes today which either looked washed-out and flat, or functional but clunky and a bit ugly.
That’s one of the best articles I’ve read about Haiku so far
They tried many things out and list many good points about Haikus strengths and unique features.
The podcaster OTOH seems to be under the impression that HaikuPorts is a compile-from-source system like BSD ports or Gentoo portage. Still, a positive appraisal overall. Can’t complain about it.
very good article. unfortunately once again reduced to command line only. missing information about the possibility of installing old pkg files from beos and stand alone packages (only applies to haiku and haiku ports)
Well, what else should they think? It is exactly the same thing.
FreeBSD has ports, which is compile from source. Whereas pkg has prebuild ports.
The only real differrence is that haikuports doesn’t care about options, so you can’t build ports two different ways like you can for FreeBSD or portage (though even there it is kinda “meh”, for example gentoo portage can’t build doxygen with documentation because it requires doyygen…)
What a cheap video !.. effortlessly tailor it just to talk about something that interested by retrocomputing lovers and BeOS fans !..
This channel is disgusting - and also similar ones … which makes a nasty from the hard work to compile a well-edited video from several sources and prepare íourself from the topic, investigate and represent truthfully.
