An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.

    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…

      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

        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)

      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

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