Huzzah! Cave story!

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] 3 points 11 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."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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).

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

Hey, at least you have sudo now.

Neither is linux. Yet most of the scrots here are from linux. Both linux and haiku are unix-like.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah but this is as far from Unix as react os

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 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

And the one translation from koolaid man where he says "OH YEEAAHHH" instead

The best kind of Haiku!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Haiku is cool, though I have a hard time believing you actually use it for something...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Browser works, it's enough for the average Windows user)

[–] admin 2 points 11 months ago

If ssh works then the average Linux SysAdmin is covered too!

Is that icon theme available outside of Haiku OS?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I liked it a lot too. Here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

what the heck that looks so cool! (i like the little robot icon on the bg)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Wow that is uhh uncommon. Not sure I'm smart enough to use such interface without a week or two of learning. 10/10

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

so cool !!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I love the look of haiku, I'll probably use it if it ever reaches a stable release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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