Duncan BayneInstalled Haiku on my old ThinkPad X200, to start getting a feel for it prior to commencing a Haiku-based side project. Coming from Linux and FreeBSD, it has such an easy, consistent, GUI.
MJ Turner@duncan_bayne I rather like Haiku and also have it running on an X200. My installation somehow corrupted itself though (slightest thing causes a kernel panic, could be filesystem corruption but checkfs also panics) and I haven't had the tuits to re-install. @ActionRetro has some good Haiku content on YouTube, BTW.
stu@duncan_bayne I used to fool around with Haiku myself but totally forgot about it
Eva Winterschön@duncan_bayne @stefano X200 is a classic, great machine, hang on to that one 😊
IrishMASMS@duncan_bayne I have a couple in that series: x220, x230, and recently scored a x260. My fave so far is the x230 with the usb3 and the Express card slot, works great as my bench tester/tooling rig in the garage
And is light enough to go with me to infosec/hacker conferences for our #badgelife projects
Have yet to score a x200 though, and one of these is definitely getting the Haiku treatment 😁
@duncan_bayne lo and behold I scored a x200 at ewaste tonight 💻
Emory@duncan_bayne i get so happy when i hear someone talking about Haiku. i was such a beOS dork back in the day; i ran it on ppc but never got my hands on a bebox. haiku is just such a treat. i don't think i've ever bare-metal'ed it though. i definitely have my BeOS installation media somewhere though.
also i don't know why i didn't think to look for #Haiku in fedi but here they are @haiku (nice use of anubis btw)
