… there are more threats with real topics than “… and let us do it not the way the crappy linux do it …”, “linux is crap”, “linux is not an desktop OS” and stuff like that.
Really whats wrong with you guys? Haiku isn’t finished yet and there are still many things missing and you just say that linux is crap?
Linux is great, i can do alot of work with it. It has alot of very usefull software and some greate features which would greate if there would be used in Haiku (sure there are many things haiku should’t copy).
And pls don’t say “hey if you like Linux better than stick with it!!!”, it’s true i like Linux more than Windows, and i like to use it for real work.
But why do you think i use it that often? *
So pls stop writing “linux is crap” on every secont threat, it is anoying and it’s not helping Haiku to become more Popular!
Opions are of the post creator, not the project. Personally i think your post is just aggrevating the situation, but that’s just my opinion.
IMO “Linux” has some fundamental design flaws. The fact it’s just a kernel is it’s main flaw, and that things have to be layered on top to make it usable mean that sometimes things don’t tie in as well as they would on Windows, Mac OS X or Haiku, leading to incompatabilities.
And yes, i don’t like Linux. But then again, i don’t like windows either. I like Haiku, which is why i use it day-to-day
EDIT: This is just gonna turn into another flamewar IMHO

I just want to say that when people turn from other OS and join another community, they don’t want to read in every second post that there OS is crap, you don’t want to read that haiku is crap right?.
There are some flaws in every OS available and i think Haiku will have a few when it’s done.
I just don’t like when people just complain about design flaws or what ever without tanking into consideration that the project they talk about dose not have the same goals like haiku or, like linux, was never ment to become what some people think it is today.
For me as a new member of this community it’s just annoying to read such posts on and on again and i do not feel like i’m welcome here.
Haiku can learn alot from other projects mistakes they did in the past it is a greate chance.
If this post realy starts another flame war, wich was not intended, than pleas close it soon or even delete it.
Hey not everyone hates Linux here. Only some. I enjoy Linux and a lot of other new (free) operating systems. I’m currently running Haiku (Alpha 2), Linux (Open Suse 11.x), and Windows (7) on my laptop. Linux isn’t crap but its interesting to go new places with OSes. Anyway just showing that there’s at least one person here with some tolerance for stuff outside of Haiku. Besides no matter what any other user on here says at this point Haiku just is neither as stable nor as supported as a lot of other major Linux distros.
But comment well noted sir. Will work harder on having less of a bias in the future…
Michael Phipps seemed to believe that desktop users didn’t “deserve” a powerful, robust and compatible operating system. I think that’s silly and it seems desktop users agree with me, as in its tenth year Haiku still has hardly any users.
The desktop of course was tied to a desk, more and more users are mobile. And when they go mobile, Linux comes with them, supporting wireless Internet, plug-and-play hardware, smart auto-discovery, suspend and hibernate, leaving stodgy “desktop operating systems” like BeOS behind.

See? We also get Haiku bashing on here :D[/quote]
YES WE DO!
I recall going to Linux forums sometime back and there would be someone who was bashing another OS like Windows or BSD, etc. Some people get really angry, frustrated and/or upset with an OS and want to vent out.
I recently used Linux for 3 years and can say I found it to be a good OS. I liked Debian the best but other distros were good too. Of course Linux has flaws and I don’t mind threads that compare Linux to other OSes or list these issues but you always offend some people even under that case. Keep in mind that many have the mentality that my OS is better than yours.
Haiku has less users than Linux because it must get R1 out first. Haiku attracts more and more interest with every release. Getting to R1 is hard to do when you have about 10 active programmers working on it part time. Getting more developers and money is very important to getting R1 out sooner but not easy since many open source developers are working on Linux. In the current state, it will take another 4 to 8 years to release Haiku R1.
