Hyperion bankrupt?

Did I already mention I really enjoy the drama. I don't miss my television subscription for a moment. Keep the good stuff coming.

I can say that Arix is another "AROS hosted on a Linux" distro with all the other Linux bits stripped away, no package manager, no Gnome/KDE, etc.

Something like amithlon then in concept ?

Just asking as I have a hard time getting into the sentiment of Amithlon being a good AmigaOS and hosted AROS just being a Linux distro.
Amithlon is also just a Linux distro with everything thrown out and some m68k emulation put on top.

There's also a performance hit when running AROS hosted on Linux.  All the AROS API calls have to be translated into Linux API calls first, so it adds another layer of complexity and overhead which again I don't find appealing.

I this proven by benchmarks ? I would assume Linux drivers are much more optimised than native AROS drivers so I would assume ARIX to be faster than native AROS.

It is more like psychological issue, just like those CopyMemQuicker patches which make people believe the system is faster.

And in itself it's no problem if people prefer native over hosted or fill their system with micro optimization patches. It would be nice though if people realize this preference is mostly based on sentiment and not on practical advantages.
