Haiku is mentioned here in second place, alongside other alternative OS …
and many of the features of BeOS haven’t quite been fully realized as yet.
I wonder which features that would be.
Disk unmount (#12847). Low latency disk operation (#15585). Some Media Kit parts are not implemented or not work correctly (recent fix).
ah ok nice, but there are not many left then, very good to know!
REASONS TO AVOID: Slow release schedule
REASONS TO BUY +Free he or they forget to add.
Nothing to buy here!
Ah some work for our “Marketing Team”
Edit:
Good to see that there is no more:
- -No graphical package manager
- -Poor hardware support
- -For older PCs
- -Sparse apps
Well, at least the only disadvantage is our “slow release schedule”. Although the developers are working very hard to have yearly releases, and there are proposals to have a faster release schedule.
The linked article has apparently been “updated” on October 2022 to summarise alternative OS going into 2023. Without access to the old article I cannot be sure if the Haiku entry has been changed, however the article still features all the things mentioned upthread.
Revived this thread because it’s not specifically part of beta 4 discussion. Perhaps TechRadar will review our new beta? They have done a proper review of Haiku in the very early days:
