I believe that, eventually, UNIX will become more like plan 9. Some have already tried to incorporate features (e.g. /proc). Note that plan 9 isn't perfect (IMO especially with regards to its user interface, too much of which comes from UNIX) but it really has to be UNIX's next step. Its creators have said that it's a research operating system. I've recently heard OpenBSD's founder describing OpenBSD as a research operating system and as the philosophies of the two operating systems are similar, I'm hopefully optimisticPlan 9 is something I wish I had been there for. Massively distributed computing is a bit of a fascination of mine

Just out of curiosity, what DE and distro do you use? Also interested in your system specs.sinewav wrote:I also avoid KDE at all costs. Too resource heavy for my 10 year old machine.
Haiku doesn't yet have GPU drivers, so it just uses the VESA (which most cards should support). This also means that there's no hardware 3D acceleration (even though there is mesa). There were plans to get 3d acceleration in Intel cards, but progress seems to have stopped.delinquent wrote:Tried HaikuOS not too long ago, as a matter of fact. To say my experience was bumpy would be somewhat of an understatement. The presence of multiple monitors first led to a default resolution of 800/600, then when I attempted to change the resolution and disable all but one monitor my GPU seemed to go into a "sleep" mode. I actually had to switch to the backup bios on the GPU to get any display output at all, even from the main bios startup sequence. Whilst my card wasn't officially supported, I think it's reasonable to expect that most cards will at least function on a basic level. I don't feel particularly comfortable even trying again, so unfortunately all I can say is that it looks pretty.
You are correct, newer KDE is much lighter than in the past. I was running Plasma 5 at the beginning of the year, but there were bugs. In fact, every version of Ubuntu 18 I've tried has tons of annoying bugs and it's a huge let down from 16.04. Right now I'm using Lubuntu 18 (bugs here too, but I think it's related to AMD drivers which would explain why every OS I installed is unstable).aP|Nelg wrote:Just out of curiosity, what DE and distro do you use?
