Falamos um tanto a respeito da Be, do Be OS, de Jean-Louis Gassett e um pouco sobre o Haiku (abraço, BGA!) no episódio 161. Mas a gente foi surpreendido pelo lançamento do Vitruvian OS. O V\OS é uma distribuição Linux baseada nos conceitos trazidos pelo BeOS, incluindo elegância e responsividade. A interface é aquela que

Catch of the Day: The Operating System of the Future That Stayed in the Past! 🐝💻
Hey Retro Fans!
Today, we get to celebrate a very special guest in the FrogFind logs. A user found their way to us using the SeaMonkey browser on BeOS!
For those who weren't active in the tech scene in the late 90s: BeOS was the absolute dream of every power user. It was written from scratch by former Apple developers and specifically optimized for multimedia and true multitasking on multiprocessor systems. It was incredibly fast, stable, and featured a beautiful user interface.
In fact, in late 1996, Apple was very close to buying BeOS to use it as the foundation for the new Mac OS. If that deal had gone through, the computer world would look completely different today! (Apple ultimately chose NeXTSTEP instead and brought Steve Jobs back).
The fact that this technical masterpiece still lives on and is maintained in the retro community today (both the original and its open-source successor, Haiku), and that someone is using it to visit the Frog pond, is a huge honor for us.
May multitasking always be with you!

Running #HaikuOS on a #Thinkpad T14s Gen 3 works great. Except this laptop is so hot my fingers hurts typing on the keyboard.
