Let's stop bothering the X1000 people heat up this thread instead. No personal attacks. Make a case for or against your preferred platform.



I think BeOS had years to make an impact on PowerPC and got nowhere. It only picked up fans when it went x86. Amiga OS should do likewise.

Because most people (a majority) need an x86 system for work or study it's more convenient to use x86.


X86_64 or ARM would work.  AROS is already there and is in process of being ported to ARM.  Problem is with AROS, it's old school and unlikely to see any modern features in a reasonable time period, if ever.

Basically, we need a new OS for the future that takes the best of the spirit of the Amiga that won't be a major pain in the rear end to use or maintain.   That goes from tablet/smartphone to desktop/server with it doing a reasonable job.

I believe we should discuss AmigaOS x64, not x86, if we are going to discuss anything at all and seriously.  And I understand that AROS supports x64.


What makes AOS so special that it should be ported?
