Other than BeOS nostalgia: is there any good reason to prefer Haiku over [name any modern Linux distribution]? I can see that it’s fun to hack on an OS and make it your own. But is Haiku actually known to do anything particularly well that other operating systems struggle with?
This is awesome but this is a rather strategic move. Hopefully RISC-V boards will emerge and this will become practical. Today, however, a RaspberryPI port could make more sense.
It's always nice to see the wonderful advancements the HaikuOS devs make. As an operating system it's very nice and fun to use. It gives me the same vibes as old workstations from the 90s. Although it still has a bit longer to go before it could be considered as a daily driver for any useful assortment of applications.
Are there any Pi/Nuc style boards one could get to run this on? I’m an old BeOS user and would love to have a little device to play with for nostalgia.
This is an amazingly fast progress, can't wait to try it on my Unmatched board... and the port is more or less still the work of one or two persons IIRC.
