BeOS For Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the making-things-pretty dept.

Bob Gortician writes "The BlueOS guys have posted a few screenshots of their progress in porting the BeOS interface to Linux. Note that this is an intermediary step toward a BeOS clone OS. " I actually had a Be machine for a while, and played with it - nice OS, and well thought out, just a problem of very little applications for it.

    ...just a problem of very little applications for it.

    What exactly is wrong with the very little applications for it? Were they badly written? Were there not enough of them? Am I supposed to assume the medium sized to large applications worked fine?

    Please, if you are going to badmouth BeOS, back up your arguments.

    Your protestations are hollow.

    Your "application support" will more than likely be dominated by applications that originated under Windows and only now exist for the Macintosh because Jobs got into bed with Gates.

    You have also failed to demonstrate why a Mac would be any better at things other than "finding porn and playing an FPS".
