Have it in a VM. Don't open it much though

I keep thinking about giving it a go but the lack of any kind of login or fde really bothers me. It's a shame as I know I'm not the only person put off by that. The last time I looked through any kind of discussion on the matter the project didn't seem to even entertain the idea of adding such features. Other than that it looks like a really interesting system.

Yes sir. I daily drive it bare metal on my E555.

I've messed around with it a bit

I‘ve tried in on a Packard Bell dot netbook and really wanted to like it, but sadly, the WiFi hardware was not supported.
💎 istvan · 2024-02-21 at 20:29:
You can probably replace it. That’s what I had to do. I got a supported WiFi adapter for $15 on eBay and just swapped them inside the laptop.

I've got it in a VM, but it seems it can't do any sort of display scaling, so it's impossible for me to use when it's all so tiny on my display, and I have a feeling booting directly into it will have the same issue. It's a shame, I've always been interested in BeOS and HaikuOS, but this is a major roadblock for me. High density display combined with aging eyesight :)
⛵️ olav · 2024-02-24 at 19:14:
@istvan, nice hint. I didn't think of such a possibility, thank you.
👻 darkghost · 2024-03-13 at 18:09:
Fun little OS. I run it on bare metal from time to time. Amazingly everything works well. I was a big fan of BeOS back in the day so it's just like old times!

I have installed Haiku on a HP630 thin client, connected to an ethernet wire, without a problem. Surprisingly, I found out that it is not possible to display a desktop rotated 90 degrees. Unfortunately, this is exactly how I intended to use it as there is just this portrait mode space left next to my main monitor. Oh well.
🦉 scops · 2024-03-26 at 10:17:
I use Haiku from time to time on my Panasic Toughbook CF-19 to see where the development state is. i plan to use Haiku on a vision five2 if the port is more mature :)

have utm vms 64 bit and 32 bit - hoped that CTP might run in the 32 bit version but alas no:-( i use the 64 bit version from time to time to see where it's at - i still miss beos:-(
A few days ago I've shuffeled the monitors on my desk and now have enough space to run Haiku on a monitor in portrait mode. Beta 5 has been released not long ago, so I thought it was time to give it another go.
Everything is pretty snappy on my HP Thin Client T520, where Elementary OS is just barely usable.
Sadly, Lagrange crashes when resizing its window. It runs fine though otherwise.
💎 pista [mod] · Oct 15 at 20:20:
I asked Skyjake about the resize crash and he said it's a bug in SDL on Haiku. Hope we can eventually get whoever is maintaining that library to address it.

Back to daily driving on bare metal an HP Elitebook 820 after years of daily driving on a Core 2 Duo Dell desktop. Beta 5 is smooth!
💎 pista [mod] · Oct 17 at 12:17:
I'm still running it on my Thinkpad E555. Swapped the wifi card and everything else works.
Web browsing is VERY rough due to the cancer that of Javascript-everywhere, but otherwise everything is good.
👻 darkghost · Oct 18 at 21:21:
Loving beta 5. I noticed you can maximize Lagrange without it crashing. But anything else does cause crashing. VVVVV for free is an awesome little perk and I think it's a pretty nice indie game.
Ah, thank you, I didn't try this. I am now writing this in a maximized Lagrange window in HaikuOS on my HP T520 thinclient - nice :)
