Wenn man sich an "ALT+..." statt "STRG+..." erstmal gewöhnt hat, dann geht das Verfassen des #Drückblick unter #Haiku grundsätzlich ähnlich einfach von der Hand wie sonst auch.

#Iceweasel als Browser versorgt mich mit ausreichend funktionalem Funktionsumfang.

Läuft.
Ein bisschen anders als sonst aber läuft.

Bei meinem letzten Test von #Haiku im vergangenen Jahr, mancher erinnert sich vielleicht, habe ich sehr alte 32-bit Hardware eingesetzt.
Auf dem gestern von mir neu installierten Netbook werkelt nun die 64-bit Variante und siehe da, mit #Waterfox #IceDove #IceWeasel und wie sie nicht alle heißen tummeln sich plötzlich moderne (64-bit) Browser im Software-Repo und lassen sich installieren.

Trying HaikuOS again

When was the last time I tried HaikuOS ? Maybe two or three years ago ?

I remembered using a USB stick as the destination of the installation. It can be easily installed on the same stick you’re booting HaikuOS from, without having to edit bootloader files or go into complicated boot issues, isn’t that amazing ?

So if you have for example a 64 GB USB stick, you can prepare it as the installation medium and then still use most of the space for HaikuOS. See here a howto :

So, what’s different from last time I tried it ? Last time the Gnome Web (Epiphany) browser was making its way to become a feasible web browser for HaikuOS. It appears to be gone but LibreWolf is there, and Iceweasel and Iceweasel ESR. These work fine for browsing but drag and drop for customizing icons in the toolbar was not working for me, maybe a graphics card thing ? But there’s always NetPositive, the default HaikuOS web browser.

I think that HaikuOS is fun to play with, especially if you like its design. The bootup is pretty fast and it looks amazing. The desktop itself has a little learning curve but not too difficult.

Drawbacks ? It is still not multi-user as far as I know. You will be running as root all the time. And there’s lots of apps, sometimes outdated. It will not be ready to replace your office work computer but if you like to tinker and play around it could be a fresh alternative for what most open source users use.

Alguém poderia usar o nome Iceweasel e Icedove para um fork do Firefox e Thunderbird aproveitando o nome usado pelo Debian quando tiveram problemas com a Mozilla por causa do nome e logo que eram marca registrada.

Acabo de instalar #IceCat en #ArchLinux, fork de #Firefox totalmente libre distribuido por el proyecto #gnu.

Sabía que existía como fork de Firefox, pero acabo de descubrir felizmente que es el nuevo nombre del #iceweasel que usaba hace lustros en Debian mmm.... 5 tal vez!

Me encantaba ese browser, minimalista, sencillo y rápido.

Más razones para darle una oportunidad 😃

Thanks to @jmairboeck for updating our TeXlive package to 2025 on Haiku! Now available for 32bit and 64bit 👍

After the update I pushed TeXstudio to version 4.8.6, on par with all! :)

Also big thanks to @3dEyes for updating Iceweasel, porting LibreWolf and Waterfox to Haiku! 👍

PS, thanks to Bruno for providing me some sample tex files to be able to track this!
