jbz💡 VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS
Guillaume Parent-Ruest@jbz I'm a little confused about Vitruvian OS: it seems like a Debian based distro with a new DE but with way more much more under the hood than what a normal DE usually do.
And the fact that it's running not Xorg or Wayland but something else makes me all the more confused lol but I like it.
The ol' tealeg 🐡@jbz oooooh. As I recall there was an early effort of this kind when BeOS died. I think that ran aground on Copyright issues, but obviously using Haiku IP is a whole lot easier.
Santiago, né ? 
👾@jbz I see they have ARM support on the roadmap for 0.4 ! 
I have been hopeful for
#Haiku on Raspberry for a long time as it seems to be such a good fit but porting efforts faced many hurdles with the partially documented hardware and all.
So starting on top of already well supported Linux and Wayland and porting the Haiku code on top makes a lot of sense to get there faster. Not to mention how cool it would be running natively on a M1 Air or other Arm laptops. Well that’s what BlueEyedOS hoped for too but these were other times.
One of the downsides of Haiku these days is that there are many QT ports making it feel a bit like Linux already anyway 😅 (I make fun of it but QT ports make Haiku much more viable, as at least you have something when there’s no native app).
