another cave story user on fedi!! very cool

i know someone with that exact bg too lol

HaikuOS, simply FANTASTIC! Out of curiosity are you using it as a daily driver? I've tried early beta (2010 or so) and it was super fast but not enough to use it every day...

Just tested in VM. Still in beta, as stated on their site. Some apps are constantly crashing. It's definitely not ready for daily use, unfortunately

Nah, I like window management in Haiku too much. I will give it a try on real hardware."

I installed Haiku on this Laptop from 1999 once since it was actually the only non-windows OS I could get to run for some reason. Video driver was bugged tho so the screen was visually offset by ~100 pixels which made it too hard to use. Otherwise though it ran at a bearable normal speed which is a huge feat for the something like 500MHz processor and 500MB/1GB of RAM (I forget the exact specs).

Haiku is cool, though I have a hard time believing you actually use it for something...

Browser works, it's enough for the average Windows user)

If ssh works then the average Linux SysAdmin is covered too!

looks awesome, I didn't know there was a dock for haiku

It's not a default one, name is HiQDock. Though, it's not very usable. As there's no transparency supported, it takes screenshot of a background, so it might cause graphical glitches. The default dock (see the screen with Cave Story) is much better, works perfect

I love the look of haiku, I'll probably use it if it ever reaches a stable release.

Wow that is uhh uncommon. Not sure I'm smart enough to use such interface without a week or two of learning. 10/10

what the heck that looks so cool! (i like the little robot icon on the bg)
