    I don’t think I’ve ever seen haiku on unixporn before but it’s always nice to see smaller OSes getting some love

    Very cool. Never really seen any darker beos/haiku themes.

      nah, that might be overkill anyway, it’s a bit niche— maybe /c/unix would be a better catch-all.

        Maybe /c/unixlike because there are a lot of smaller niche operating systems that would be nice to be included that aren’t unix.

          i mean, the only real unixes are like HP/UX, macOS, etc. the term “UNIX” is just sold by the Open Group. why not reappropriate it for things that should count? (posix systems and so unixlikes).

            That’s fair but I already made it and also a community like that would attract nerds and nobody is more specific about terms than nerds lol

    why haiku tho? (honest question)

      i really like the filesystem (BeFS) and the cool abstractions its attribute system allows, its message-passing system, how lightweight it is, great community, very UNIXy, etc.

      it also has the most pleasant GUI i’ve touched in a very long time— everything’s snappy, cohseive, and sensical. i normally hate floating WM, and hate letting GUIs do things for me, but with haiku it’s different.

    This looks great. I like that launcher thing on the top right, what is it.
