VitruvianOS

En redes y foros hoy se está hablando de VitruvianOS (o simplemente v-OS). Es un sistema operativo salido de la nada pero que, según su página web, ejecuta un núcleo Linux en tiempo real junto con una capa de compatibilidad llamada Nexus, que lo vuelve compatible con BeOS, un viejo sistema operativo de finales de los años 90, y su sucesor espiritual, Haiku-OS.

De acuerdo con las notas de versión más recientes, su entorno de escritorio no es ni X ni Wayland, y a la vista de los pantallazos, intenta rescatar la metáfora de escritorio que gastaba BeOS.

Desconozco sus intenciones y si es seguro o si es fruto de una alucinación hecha por IA. Constantemente aparecen sistemas operativos independientes creados de la nada por personas interesadas en el tema, pero normalmente suelen ser un pasatiempo en vez de algo serio.

Locally updated Qt to 6.11.0-rc, so far first checks are good, only visual change atm is the increased fontsize like in NeoChat and Tokodon.

Marknote bugfix release 1.5.1 is out. While the Haiku user will still be one version 1.4.1, I keep up here with latest releases and nightly builds, making sure things are still OK when Qt > 6.8 will be available for Haiku.

Code-blocks are working fine and the markdown editor has been improved a lot, with quotes being fixed among other things being fixed.

Fun #HaikuOS fact of the day: for the first time (as far as I know), we are listed in the affected systems for a CVE. Upon closer inspection, it turns out the affected code (a bug in telnetd dating back to 1994) is behindea compiler guard and not actually enabled in our version. So, Haiku is actually safe from this CVE for which there is no actual exploit also on other systems.

Cve-2026-32746

Nevermind,one can’t even easily build telnetd with LINEMODE enabled because that leads to other errors. We don’t have the termios c_lflag called EXTPROC needed in sys_term.c line 434. Neither do we have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL needed in telnetd.c line 1101. That all first needs to be fixed before we can enable the code that makes Haiku vulnerable to the CVE,therefore I’d say we’re pretty safe.

Good timezone Fedi - what desktop environment or window manager do you use and why? If you could recommend it in a 1 sentence, what it would be?

The interesting thing about using #Haikuos for a while tonight was how deeply it brought back warm 90's feelings when I was a die hard OS/2 user.

I didn't have the cash back then to get a system that could run BeOS, so I missed this in its first incarnation. I knew a lot of Amiga folk who jumped to it though.

If I get nothing else out of this, it's the reminder that there was a time before everything was set in stone. 99.9% (being conservative) of what we do with computers now is pure abstraction, but we get locked into these ruts of how things work.

I'm now inching dangerously closer to installing Plan 9 / 9front somewhere.
