Request about OS Development

Build it and see. But how will it be different to Linux?

I think that we need to let this play out. There are a lot of people looking for a simple desktop experience. Other operating systems (i.e. Windows) are getting huge and piggish.

The snappiness and compact setup of Amiga operating systems is attractive... especially with the new Vampires coming soon with 512MB memory and full HDMI support.

Now where did I put my 'grumpy old man' GIF....   ;-)

It appears AmigaKit just sold out their most recent batch of Vampires in one day... again. When the standalone comes out that will start another wave of adoption.

Well the hardware has to come first. As more Vampires ship there will be more pushes to advance the operating system... and finance updates.

I am backing both the Thor/Olsen OS3.x updates AND the AROS updates as much as possible. I think in the long run there is opportunity for cooperation. I would suggest Hyperion start experimenting with open-sourcing parts of OS3.1.

And let us not forget logical volumes!

Windows tried to do it with "libraries" but in true MS fashion made it complicated/unusable from command-line.
