New rEFInd bootloader theme for my laptop! It boots straight to The Choice. The Matrix is my favorite film of all time, so...

Running Haiku OS on bare metal, on two different laptops: a Thinkpad x280 and a DELL 5480. Everything works perfectly except the touchpads/tracksticks (on the Thinkpad it crashes a lot but it works, on the DELL it doesn't work at all). With a mouse it works great.

Haiku has certainly come a long way!

🌗 偉大的幻覺：當我們相信BeOS將拯救世界（而且可能沒錯）
➤ 對逝去的美好時代與未竟之夢的追憶

本文回顧了BeOS作業系統，它在90年代以其卓越的技術優勢和使用者體驗在業界引領潮流，卻因市場因素最終未能成功。作者透過Hacker News上的討論，表達了對BeOS的懷念，並指出BeOS擁有的先進功能，例如多執行緒、進階檔案系統和低延遲音訊處理，至今仍是現代作業系統追求的目標。儘管BeOS最終未能實現其願景，但其精神在開源專案Haiku OS中得以延續，提醒我們不應停止對更美好技術的追求。
+ 讀完這篇文章，讓我想起了過去對科技的純粹熱情，現在的科技產品似乎更注重商業利益，而忽略了技術的本質。
+ 雖然BeOS最終失敗了，但它留給我們的啟示是，技術創新不應被市場規則所

I found these updated Haiku icons for Linux, and they look great on my wanna-be Haiku/BeOS-like XFce desktop under EndeavourOS. It just feels right.

I really dislike the flat design that has come to overpower everything since 2013. I prefer the old iphone Skeuomorphism, pixel art icons from the '90s (e.g. #BeOS), and the new #neuomorphism (but with more contrast than shown in the pic). But flat design, no, thank you.

Cosmoe, BeOS/Haiku on Linux, returns from 18 year hiatus – OSnews
18 years ago, the dev decided to put it on hold because he didn't have time for it with his 5 kids. Now, one of those kids is in college and asked him about programming operating systems, and he's dusted it off again.

#BeOS #Cosmoe #OS #computers

BeOS interface design and user experience were the pinnacle of computing for me in many ways. Super excited about this project to add a C++ UI library to Linux:

🚀 Behold, the revolutionary Cosmoe 2.0! It's like #BeOS had a midlife crisis and decided to wear a #Wayland costume. Now, you too can enjoy building apps with an obscure class library while bragging about your "easy-to-use" #GUI skills. 🤡

🧵 Just wrote about that legendary 2015 Hacker News thread where everyone got emotional about BeOS 😭
The OS that was too beautiful for this world: pervasive multithreading, metadata filesystem, perfect multimedia... in the '90s!
But we got Windows because "it's already installed" 📼

Faszinierend, sich in Erinnerung zu rufen, was eine Shitshow die Entwicklung von #Zeta unter yellowTAB in vielerlei Hinsicht – nicht zuletzt legaler – gewesen ist:

@Ambivalentor вже подумав про повернення #BeOS :)

Some more tweaking, and my BeOS impersonation under XFce is near complete. It just feels good.

And the system now cold-boots at 475 MB of RAM. Awesome!

These BeOS themes look good-enough via XFce on my EndeavourOS installation. Reminds me of the good old times. Ah, these were the days...

🌗 在日立 FLORA Prius 系統上啟動 BeOS
➤ 日立 FLORA Prius 系統 BeOS 啟動指南
✤ http://testou.free.fr/www.beatjapan.org/mirror/www.be.com/support/guides/hitachi_boot.html
本文件是關於如何在日立 FLORA Prius 系統上啟動 BeOS 的指南。FLORA Prius 預先安裝了 BeOS 和 Windows 98 兩種作業系統，但預設情況下只有 Windows 會自動啟動。本指南介紹了三種啟動 BeOS 的方法：使用開機磁片、從 Windows 桌面啟動，以及安裝 Bootman 開機管理員，以便在啟動電腦時選擇作業系統。建議同時使用後兩種方法以方便使用所有作業系統。
+ 這篇文章對想在老電腦上玩弄 BeOS 的人來說，應該很有幫助。
+ 雖然技術細節有點多，但對於想嘗試不同作業系統的人來說，這是一個不錯的入門指南。

🚀✨ Behold, the riveting saga of #booting #BeOS on a #Hitachi FLORA Prius—a task so thrilling it demands a 1999 user manual and a sprinkle of Japanese documentation. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #technology like juggling #floppy #disks and boot managers in the era of #Y2K panic. 🤖💾
