VitruvianOS has the clothes of BeOS, which is nice and refreshing.
replyBut Haiku has the soul.
Maybe the fallacy is not exploring what a given OS is great at?
replyWe don't need to clone UNIX all over the place.
How strictly do you mean “UNIX clone”? Because Linux isn’t strictly UNIX. But then at the other end of the scale, BeOS was also partially POSIX compliant and shipped with Bash plenty of UNIX CLI tools.
replyPerhaps it’s better to play it safe and just run DOS instead ;)
It certainly is, what it is not, is a derivative.
replyBeOS on its final commercial version certainly did not allow to compile UNIX applications, beyond the common surface that is part of ISO C and ISO C++ standard library.
But Vitruvian is running its own graphics stack so no X11 or wayland applications will run afaict.
replyNot quite really.
Vitruvian runs virtually the same identical sw stack of Haiku and there's a haiku-wayland that works.
However on vitruvian the app_server could provide real Gbm buffers, so that would give us pretty much native rendering.
We're still working on it but you'd have the advantages of a BeOS-like gui and the power of linux!
replySo what's the point of this -- it's essentially a different Haiku?
replyI think itbis the reverse, it is haiku with a linux kernel so it works with more hardware.
