So... promote a martyrdom complex within the Armed Forces.

I need to try the Hut's pie again soon. Might be a step up from the Godfather's experience.

Not sure how the windowing system handles support for transparency outside of Replicants (the little widgets on the desktop). However, it does have translation layers for X and Wayland, so, perhaps there's something there.

How's the Vegas Loop handling traffic again?

Oh, right... it's a taxi service through a tube underground between the airport and the convention center... not very usable by all.

It does have a decent complement of applications in the package depot - a few Firefox clones, LibreOffice, VLC, QMPlay2, a handful of trackers, some emulators and a few source ports to name a few.

Wine has been ported over as well, but you might need to compile it by hand. Not much of an issue though. That might be your in on getting commercial games running, if you game.

Packages are handled in a unique way, mounting into the filesystem, sort of like an AppImage, but mount-on-install instead of mount-on-run.

Waterfox and Librewolf are in the HaikuDepot. As for Office Suites, I think I did see LibreOffice there as well.

I love Haiku. If I wasn't a Steam user, it'd be my daily driver.

Not Linux. It's Haiku, a POSIX-Compatible clone of BeOS, a Media first operating system from the 90s, designed to be friendly and powerful.

I have not yet tried. I'll give it a go later.

Update: I was unable to enable IPv6 in the settings. I'm sure there's a way, but for now, I'm not seeing it. I'll have to poke around with Virtualbox at a later date to see if I can make some changes or something.

It's been a while since I dusted off Haiku and gave it a shot at customization. After poking and prodding a bit, I am rather pleased with this one -

Using an image from the Unsplash package. Replicants on the desktop are the Activity Monitor meters, Weather (from the package repository) and WordClock (from the package repository). Within the Deskbar, there is WebWatch.

UI font is Montserrat, installed globally outside of packages.

I know it's not as busy as some screenshots, but I figured with the Replicants on the desktop, it's not as bare, as they are technically programs without borders.

Perhaps this is the right time to teach ICE Agents that this is the perfect time to use one simple M word...

A very precious M word... an M word that tyrants fear...

Mutiny.

Tracker music is awesome.

Here is a link to a release on the internet archive. Other than that, take a spin around modland over FTP (ftp://ftp.modland.com/) or the Mod Archive.

With the recent "spotify hack", can one now easily get songs from that hack? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Search on Soulseek or good ol' Gnutella... or use SpotiFLAC (which downloads from Tidal, Amazon or Qobuz).
