I guess what aggravates me is the double-standard in the geek world.  16 Apple //e computers networked together is uber; running TCP/IP on a 1982 Timex is cool*; building a watch out of Nixie tubes is bonerific; but an operating system with modern capabilities for PowerPC is just a bunch of old farts trying to hold onto a dead dream and beat a dead horse.


What modern capabilities? What year are you from? :laughing:

MorphOS is more responsive, plays HD videos better and faster and includes a nice HTML5 browser. Moreover, it allows you to run Amiga software (including PPC demos) at decent speeds, unlike OSX+uae. I can launch modern amiga demos directly (unlike OSX). MorphOS is supported and updated.

PS: I haven't benchmarked it but Poseidon seems faster than OSX transfering files through USB2. Perhaps RTCW is faster on MorphOS too.


You have ofcourse data to back up these claims? I really don't notice much speed difference between MorphOS and Linux on my minimacs, and Linux for sure has way more features that are usefull for me.
