if you’re gonna do live sections, you should really make it less obvious you read the words off a screen. great video otherwise

Thank you for making this video, I think that the BeOS is nowadays almost forgotten even though it was great system. Also, I'd rather not know how much time you put into editing this video, everything was perfectly made and I kept my focus on for the whole video. There's only one small detail, I think It'd be helpful if you somehow change the camera angle so that you're looking at least a bit more towards the lens (and towards our eyes). Otherwise everything was perfect and video was not also very well edited but also prepared. Thank you for time and effort.

I got a Be t-shirt when I bought BeOS 5 (which I used as my daily driver for a long time after they folded.) Then, I got a job at an IT unit inside a very heavily Mac using department of a university. We all went to Apple’s WWDC every year and every single year, I wore my Be shirt to the Stevenote. Lol Little side note: That book on BeFS was written by the person who wrote BeFS. He ended up at Apple and not surprisingly, HFS+ quickly got journaling and indexing. There’s also a book called Programming BeOS, I think. I owned it but that was a long time ago.

Wake up babe, new distrohopper vid just dropped.

4:03 now that's a clever way to include the source for the clip!

It is annoying that people don't know about Be/Haiku. But other OSs too. There used to be so many computer companies, cpu acrhicectures, GPU makers, OSs and other stuff in the era before 2000. Now there is only a few left. Most annoying part being that it is not even the best ones that succeded.

I recently discovered your channel and it is awesome! I hope more people discover your channel. You absolutely deserve it!

You make great videos, including this one. If I had to make a suggestion I would say either stick to voiceover or do takes where you are looking straight into the camera. The angle and background of watching you read is just a little off. I know that without a teleprompter it means you’ll probably have to memorize parts of your script but you’re already cutting to B-roll at certain points so it’s not like it would have to be one long continuous take

How did I not get bored of looking at someone reading their research paper this whole time. lol well done. Look forward to more in depth stuff like this.

first video of yours i watched and didn't even realize it was a face reveal lol, great video!

Firstly, this isn't an insult, but an observation. There is some so sublimely interesting about the camera framing in this video. Initially, I was kind of thrown off by the upper-left positioning and lack of eye contact, but eventually I became fascinated. Videos prior to this did not utilize your person as part of the presentation, but rather solely as a narrator. Given that, my mind jumped first to this being a new thing for you, leaving you unsure of how much "eye contact" should be maintained. However, thinking on this further lead me to the conclusion "what does it matter" as your physical presence on screen still adds a layer of personhood to the video. Do whatever makes you comfortable and improve/develop your presentation style in whatever way you see fit. The contents and scripts of your videos still maintain a great degree of engagement!

A face reveal? Amazing! This video was really well done! I love your humor! Important to note, only the 32bit version of Haiku is binary compatible, the 64bit version is not. Also, that "mostly posix compatible" part, which is still true for both versions of Haiku, can bite you in the butt if you try to compile things on it. Ask me how I know.

A great video as always, but I prefer the older editing style with content on screen all time, helps with focus :)

Great video, quite detailed whilst not being too long. would've liked if you had set the video to look like you were looking at the camera tho :).

Be-Os ran on the Tascam SX-1 recording systems.

I tried to install Haiku on a modern machine with an ASUS B560M MB, Intel Core-I5 processor, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, all SSD drives, and a midrange RX5500XT GPU. ZERO recognition of any of the above hardware, no drivers. I do have an old ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard on a TrueNAS server, bet Haiku would work well there.

One thing that I think that was completely missed on this video was that the OS is alive and well... HP launched the software for their PalmOS product line that failed around 2003 which then lead to it being bought by LG which lives on as WebOS for their smart TVs...

I remember be os back in university, I hated it , but it was championed by the lecturers for programming Eiffel, this was back in the days of Netscape, it felt like a poor man’s unix, by the second year nearly everyone used the windows boxes even for programming, v3.2 was buggy to the point that unless you were on one particular course no one used them

I paid for my BeOS (and GoBe Productive). The next year, they just gave it away. I didn’t even get a T-Shirt out of it!

Can I be fairly honest about the face reveal? It's amazing to see you investing more into your channel and trying new things, however, I feel like the weird camera angle, combined with you clearly reading off the screen and, most importantly, not looking into the camera, results in face reveal not adding a lot of value to the video. However, the rest of the video is well-scripted and well-researched as always, and it is really fun to see you try new things; keep it up!

First! Edit: can you love my comment again because I edit and can you comment my comment?

Hikau.OS... BeOS for now...

great topic, but not a fan of watching someone reading web sites to me.
