techBack on track on building Haiku from source and launching with Qemu :)
Used and updated my (build) local script for this, for those interested:

MASTER BOOT RECORD
Bumping our php version on Haiku, first 8.1.9 was fixed for building kuserfeedback on 32bit, then came 8.1.31 to be followed by 8.3.17, now checking build on 32bit for 8.4.4, 64bit was already done and checked. Looking good :)
Checking in browser +1 :)
Told this before, but again a huge thanks to @mmu_man and Carter-Li for bringing fastfetch to Haiku.
This morning Carter-Li released 2.37.0 with support to Haiku (and of course other fixes). Now you can poke your friends with this nice tool!
My part in this is mainly build testing, reporting and providing logs, so I can't take credits on the real work. 😇
mmu_manYes that's #FastFetch running in #MiNT (no, not Linux Mint!, #Atari MiNT, the one and only)
BodilThem: I'm sick of running the man's OSes, I'm going to try Linux!
Me: Great! I'd recommend running KDE on Fedora, it should give you a smooth and stable experience with no surprises.
Them: No, I'm going to use Xmonad! [substitute any tiling WM with a hardcore reputation, but it's usually Xmonad]
Me: That's a terrible idea, it's decades outdated and you'll spend all your time scripting custom OS interactions for the most basic things instead of just getting shit done on your computer.
Them: I'M USING XMONAD!
…time passes…
Them: After much first hand experience, I have come to the conclusion that Linux isn't ready for the desktop. I don't know how you nerds live like that.
A story as old as time.
Having native applications for Haiku would be the best thing making use of it's full potential, in the meantime it's nice to be able to show that we "can" use ported software to fill the gaps! 👍
Foxbrush TailwagNew at Haiku, Alligator 24.12.2, a slim Kirigami based RSS feed reader, this one doesn't use QtWebEngine and therefor could be ported over to Haiku with the KDE 6 frameworks.
Enjoy!
