Amiga OS 4.1

[vox]

I went to AmigaOS's website, and noticed 4.1. I was very happy to see a recent update. However, when I looked at the games (under Amiga OS>>Applications>>Games) I noticed LinCity as well as Super Tux Kart. I also looked at Office and in there was AbiWord.

Instead of being an original operating system, did they just build off of Linux (like ArOS)?  I was very disappointed when I saw this since, if I wanted linux tools, I could just install ArOS or Ubuntu. However, I see that you can purchase the OS.


Anyone know?

Yes, its most Linux apps and games, but its great we can related to Linux people and I can use same apps on MINT and AOS 4 on PPC as well as on MINT on x86

Beside Hoolywood and Page Stream no other original Amiga software survived and supported AOS 4.

Everyone died in process and market is too small. Even Hyperiion deosnt make games anymore. Freespace and Quake 2 do work on OS 4 so I dont get why dont they put them.

Incorrect, there is also Digital Universe http://www.digitaluniverse.org.uk, it is not a Linux port. 100% Amiga code.

DIgital Universe is not Amiga only, but nevermind, exceptions make rule sound right :afro:

Linux can also be run on all MOS capable machines and is also alternative to lack of some modern apps under MOS

So Linux is nice, not bad :hammer:

Oh yes it is, as the main coder I ought to know !

There used to be a Mac version as well but only the Amiga (OS4 only) version is still in development. The modern version is based on the Amiga 68k version not the defunct Mac version.

Ment no evil, really. Thanks for development
