@tealeg yeah, it's not the first time, I even ran 32bit anyboot images on the 64bit install in Qemu. Not something to daily drive, but beats switching from default beta5 install and nighlies to do some quick checks. :)

Back on track on building Haiku from source and launching with Qemu :)

Used and updated my (build) local script for this, for those interested:

Bumping our php version on Haiku, first 8.1.9 was fixed for building kuserfeedback on 32bit, then came 8.1.31 to be followed by 8.3.17, now checking build on 32bit for 8.4.4, 64bit was already done and checked. Looking good :)

Checking in browser +1 :)

php 8.4.4

Told this before, but again a huge thanks to @mmu_man and Carter-Li for bringing fastfetch to Haiku.

This morning Carter-Li released 2.37.0 with support to Haiku (and of course other fixes). Now you can poke your friends with this nice tool!

My part in this is mainly build testing, reporting and providing logs, so I can't take credits on the real work. 😇

Yes that's #FastFetch running in #MiNT (no, not Linux Mint!, #Atari MiNT, the one and only)

#RetroComputing #FreeMiNT

FastFetch running in a TOS window on FreeMiNT, showing a few infos, and the bee logo that likely got copied from neofetch.

Them: I'm sick of running the man's OSes, I'm going to try Linux!

Me: Great! I'd recommend running KDE on Fedora, it should give you a smooth and stable experience with no surprises.

Them: No, I'm going to use Xmonad! [substitute any tiling WM with a hardcore reputation, but it's usually Xmonad]

Me: That's a terrible idea, it's decades outdated and you'll spend all your time scripting custom OS interactions for the most basic things instead of just getting shit done on your computer.

Them: I'M USING XMONAD!

…time passes…

Them: After much first hand experience, I have come to the conclusion that Linux isn't ready for the desktop. I don't know how you nerds live like that.

A story as old as time.

Having native applications for Haiku would be the best thing making use of it's full potential, in the meantime it's nice to be able to show that we "can" use ported software to fill the gaps! 👍

New at Haiku, Alligator 24.12.2, a slim Kirigami based RSS feed reader, this one doesn't use QtWebEngine and therefor could be ported over to Haiku with the KDE 6 frameworks.

Enjoy!

We are looking for a #logo for our project. The empty space in our Mastodon account wants to be filled. 😀 So, can anyone here help us? If you have a cool idea of what a logo could look like or even a complete design, ping us. 🚀

Very happy to announce my book The Linux Memory Manager is now available to pre-order at

It's a comprehensive 1,300 page exploration of how memory functions in Linux that goes into great depth on the subject, and is the first book of its kind for 20 years :)

@mmu_man added Terminal output for "fastfetch -c ci", maybe some others will pop up also. 🤞

@mmu_man did an amazing job on getting fastfetch over to Haiku! Big thanks there, now upstream is also helping out on doing some finishing up, progress!!! 👍
