Haiku Operating System

•

14 years ago, I was one of the first people in the world, if not the first one, to successfully install and run Haiku OS on real hardware.

Haiku on EeePC 701

This was in June 2009 or before even, Haiku didn't have an installer back then, just a disk image for VMs.

In June 2009, I uploaded some photos of it to my Flickr account on the Eee PC album and even wrote a tutorial on my blog on how to install it.

Welcome to c/haiku on Lemmy! Community for all Haiku users and devs.

Haiku is an open source operating system under constant development.

Specifically targeting personal computing, Haiku is a fast, efficient, simple to use, easy to learn, and yet very powerful system for computer users of all levels.

Additionally, Haiku offers something over other open source platforms which is quite unique: The project consists of a single team writing everything from the kernel, drivers, userland services, tool kit, and graphics stack to the included desktop applications and preflets.

While numerous open source projects are utilized in Haiku, they are integrated seamlessly. This allows Haiku to achieve a unique level of consistency that provides many conveniences, and is truly enjoyable to use by both end-users and developers alike.
