    I installed BeOS on my PowerPC Macintosh in the days right around the NeXT acquisition. It was a spiffy OS, at least for a teen nerd without much knowledge beyond Mac OS.

    I was thinking of BeOS last week. I always wanted a BeBox but was a poor highschooler

    I actually used beos as a daily driver for a few months. This was maybe around 2000 or 2001. WinME crashed a lot for me and I couldn’t make linux detect my winmodem. Installed beos and everything was great. Dual booted with windows 98 when I wanted to play StarCraft.

    Moved to Linux soon after but I will always remember those great days.

    dang, I was hoping this would create an actual linked post on Lemmy instead of a text post with the link inside

    maybe that can’t be done from Mastodon
