Actually I rather boot to another OS than suffer from abysmally bad performance that results. And BTW something like this was done over 10 years ago already with ixemul. It could be done at any time, but why bother when the performance, UI experience and stability would be far from desirable... You don't need to look far to see how badly these "linux ports" perform on OS4.
Nothing wrong with that I'd say.
You are so 1990-ies. Rebooting in different OSes is something from the past. MorphOS is very 1990-ies as well. But keep rebooting if that makes you happy.
The Linux ports I have on my AmigaOS 4 perform exactly as they perform on Linux, some of them better.
Since when 18 months was 2 years? That's 1.5 years, not 2.
The date of the post says 11-07-2009 (I guess this is american standard then). Shall I dig older posts where PowerBook support was announced. Hurry up to delete them before they are found.
Regardless during those 18 months we've:
- Released MorphOS 2.5
- Released MorphOS 2.6
- Released MorphOS 2.7
- Released MorphOS with support for eMac (various models)
- Released MorphOS with support for PowerMac G4s (various models)
- Showed preview of ongoing work for both PowerBook G4 and PowerMac G5 versions of MorphOS.
Not fast enough for you?
Not a public version for any laptop. All these major numberings are in fact minor updates.
AmigaOS 4 was shown X1000. Does this count or not?
Who have seen it and judge the situation objectively see the truth indeed: MorphOS beats OS4 on the same HW on every area. Whining how "OS4 is not optimized for Pegasos 2" is getting a bit old now. OS4 still has no USB2 and lacks the proper 3D support, not to mention basic things such as proper support for AltiVec unit, working FAT, NTFS, ext2 or XFS filesystems or a proper console. I see no serious competition.
MorphOS is limited. No proper filesystems, no memory protection, no virtual memory, no enough ported applications. Best thing to do with MorphOS is to boot it to another OS.
On the other hand AmigaOS 4 fully replaced my AmigaOS 3 installation. I use AREXX scripts daily, they work the same way as they worked before. That's transparent upgrade.
