Always love seeing Haiku releases. Brings back memories of trying it out on an old machine, still hoping for a modern browser.

I wish Haiku all the best. It's always great to see some diversity in the FOSS OS landscape. Hope it finds its niche eventually like the BSDs did after the lawsuit drama.

I tried Haiku recently on a not-super-old PC and was impressed by the speed and the reasonable availability of software. I then wished I could run this on my old Powerbook G4 because nothing else seems to run there anymore with ease, and this seems like the perfect desktop OS for such old machines. And it turns out there is now a fork for PPC: https://github.com/ActionRetro/Tabby-PPC !

(Why a fork? Because it's primarily vibecoded and Haiku won't take the patches upstream. But hey, I'm gonna give it a try anyway.)

Has anyone tried installing Haiku on old mac 2012 intel and older ? How challenging would that be ?

Congratulations to the haiku team!

I wonder if they got it to run smoothly in Qubes yet?

I can't see steve blamer's face without remembering how fun beos was in the 90s.

Me thinking Anthropic released a new version of the haiku model....

Are there usage statistics for Haiku?

Also, for Haiku users: What is the experience like using LibreOffice on it? And i - is it the popular office suite, or is there another one, perhaps more focused on the OS rather than cross-platform?
