This is the longest and most fun time I have used Haiku, and I’ve tried it again and again over the years since Alpha 1.
This is Haiku OS beta 5 running inside UTM on macOS 14.7. Haiku’s screen resolution is set to 1440 x 900. macOS is running at 1710 x 1107 with an actual screen resolution at 2880 x 1864. UTM is set to linear upscaling and runs full screen (hence the black bar on top). These are the settings with the best font and overall appearance I found.
Thank you to all the generous and brilliant people who contributed to this. In a time of locked up and overly complex desktop operating systems, this feels so liberating to use. Using Haiku reminds me of how I feel using classic Mac OS, just with actual multitasking. It’s friendly and powerful.
