Love the look. I wonder if there's a Cave Story port for HaikuOS?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

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

The best kind of Haiku!

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!

It's not. But there's Windows as a top 1 post of this community. So, it's not a big deal)

Is that icon theme available outside of Haiku OS?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

I liked it a lot too. Here

Huzzah! Cave story!

I didn't know there are such nice wallpapers of it out there. Where did you find this one?

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...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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).
