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.

Linux After Dark podcast tries four non-Linux, open-source OSes:
https://linuxafterdark.net/linux-after-dark-episode-90/
Haiku coverage starts at 17:25 in the episode.
The podcast site also links to another article about Haikus unique package system which is really long and well-written.

I agree. That is a nice piece of writing.
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)
True! Haiku was far and away the OS that came out looking the best for the podcast hosts, too.
One of the hosts (May) also remarked that she has a Haiku disc from FOSDEM 2022, which was nice to hear.
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…)

Is that AI generated?
Probably. A video just made out of standard stock footage. BeOS is NEVER seen! They talk about BeOS but to see is a Dos prompt…
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.

Haiku is prominently converted in the latest howtogeek article “9 Open Source Operating Systems That Aren’t Linux”, featuring as #2 right after Plan 9:sweat_smile:
