LittleAlex 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇩🇪🇳🇴ArcaOS 5.1.2 (OS/2-Clone, based on OS/2 Warp) now available
Arca Noae is proud to announce the general availability of ArcaOS 5.1.2 in English, German, Spanish, and Russian.
Diego*Tras la implosión de la alianza con Microsoft, y después de la versión Warp 3.0, IBM lanzó en 1996 OS/2 Warp 4 como el último intento para competir como sistema operativo de escritorio. Repitió las buenas críticas y técnicamente era impecable, pero no logró acercarse ni de lejos al grado de adopción que por entonces estaba consiguiendo Windows 95. Warp 4 incluyó el protocolo TCP/IP completo y múltiples herramientas de Internet, así como asistentes inteligentes y una adecuada estética. Era un sistema de 32 bits con soporte para la API gráfica OpenGL, fuentes TrueType, el cliente de mensajería Lotus Notes Mail, el navegador IBM WebExplorer y también tenía acceso gratuito al por entonces dominante Netscape Navigator para OS/2.

chesheerTIL: ArcaOS: a modern 32-bit OS/2 successor that works on current hardware, includes a lot of software compatibility layers like Odin to run Win32 applications, kLIBC to run Linux applications and OpenJDK to run Java applications.
And it's closed source and proprietary.
And it costs $139 for personal use.

I genuinely wonder if there's a market and a consumer for this OS. Who might use it? Is OS/2 Warp is still in production? In some critical infrastructure maybe? Banks? Governments?
It's certainly not a hobbyist and enthusiast OS.
You can even trade up your existing OS/2 support subscription to ArcaOS support subscription.
It's such a blast from the past!

N-gated Hacker NewsOS/2 Warp, #PowerPC Edition: where #nostalgia meets the masochistic urge to run outdated software on arcane hardware. 💾✨ Because nothing screams productivity like diving into the depths of '90s computing hell, armed with a PowerPC and a prayer. 🙄🔧

wyatt“The totally cool way to run and network your computer” sounds just as stupid as it did when I first got these boxes. I paid $2 for them at a HAM radio convention 11 years ago and they’ve just been sitting sealed ever since. Got them out of storage today and I think I’ll open them. (Thread time.)
Edit so I can find this thread later: OS/2 IBM #OS2 #IBM #OS2Warp
