Huzzah! Cave story!

I didn't know there are such nice wallpapers of it out there. Where did you find this one?

HaikuOS, simply FANTASTIC! Out of curiosity are you using it as a daily driver? I've tried early beta (2010 or so) and it was super fast but not enough to use it every day...

[-] Serpentian@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Just tested in VM. Still in beta, as stated on their site. Some apps are constantly crashing. It's definitely not ready for daily use, unfortunately

[-] Serpentian@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Nah, I like window management in Haiku too much. I will give it a try on real hardware."

I installed Haiku on this Laptop from 1999 once since it was actually the only non-windows OS I could get to run for some reason. Video driver was bugged tho so the screen was visually offset by ~100 pixels which made it too hard to use. Otherwise though it ran at a bearable normal speed which is a huge feat for the something like 500MHz processor and 500MB/1GB of RAM (I forget the exact specs).

It's not. But there's Windows as a top 1 post of this community. So, it's not a big deal)

Hey, at least you have sudo now.

another cave story user on fedi!! very cool

i know someone with that exact bg too lol

[-] iseperiergos@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago

looks awesome, I didn't know there was a dock for haiku

[-] Serpentian@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

It's not a default one, name is HiQDock. Though, it's not very usable. As there's no transparency supported, it takes screenshot of a background, so it might cause graphical glitches. The default dock (see the screen with Cave Story) is much better, works perfect

The best kind of Haiku!

[-] Ramin_HAL9001@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Is that icon theme available outside of Haiku OS?

[-] Serpentian@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

I liked it a lot too. Here

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Haiku is cool, though I have a hard time believing you actually use it for something...

[-] Serpentian@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Browser works, it's enough for the average Windows user)

[-] admin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

If ssh works then the average Linux SysAdmin is covered too!

And the one translation from koolaid man where he says "OH YEEAAHHH" instead

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Wow that is uhh uncommon. Not sure I'm smart enough to use such interface without a week or two of learning. 10/10

[-] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 months ago

I love the look of haiku, I'll probably use it if it ever reaches a stable release.

so cool !!!

[-] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Love the look. I wonder if there's a Cave Story port for HaikuOS?

[-] hexloc@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

what the heck that looks so cool! (i like the little robot icon on the bg)
