#haikuos — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #haikuos, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Eight years after starting #HaikuOS, the @haiku team published the first alpha version of the successor of #BeOS on September 14, 2009. haiku-os.org/news/2009-09-13_h

  2. Haiku OS PowerPC: the Tabby build is moving on two fronts.

    On a PowerBook G4 12", USB boot works, but only through the CHRP bootblock, calling a 250-byte ofboot.b. Launching haikuloader.elf directly returns a CLAIM error.

    On a Pegasos 2, Haiku reaches the desktop on real hardware, so Tabby's approach isn't tied to Apple's Open Firmware quirks.

    Still open: a panic in vfs_mount_boot_file_system on disk boot, and clean shutdown.

  10. 🎉 Haiku OS finally crawls onto M1 Macs, but wait—before you get excited, it's slower than a snail in molasses. 🐌💻 Forget coding, just enjoy the zen of watching your cursor lag while you ponder why you thought this was a good use of your time. 🤦‍♂️
