If it is worth running I don't mind sourcing parts. PC parts are dirt cheap. Or support the most popular cards.
What is wrong with continuing AROS anyway? Could you run into different problems trying to merge two systems?

I haven't tried hosted AROS, which one is closer to Amithlon?


It depends on how you define "AROS". Most people equal AROS with X86 and that has nothing to do with Amithlon. Amithlon (as I know it) compiles 68k code in X86 before running, AROS only runs special compiled software, on X86 you can run X86, on ARM ARM, on PPC PPC software. you cannot mix between platforms and you cannot mix with 68k (like on MorphOS/AmigaOS and Amithlon). Hosted means it is started as a appliation using the resources of the main system, so it is "perhaps" comparable but not really. The only platform where you can mix Aros with 68k is Aros 68k (that way I created Aros Vision)

I was going to type that too, but then I realized I'd be saying something, or typing something anyhow. :)

Something wrong with my explanation?

then make a better explanation...

This just an AROS fork?

Just curious why I'd want to run this vs. AROS.

Oh, I'm just making wise cracks, they are not serious nor are they directed at anyone in particular. :)

My understanding was that this was to be like Amithlon, only using Aros 68k.

AerOS on the other hand I thought was supposed to be a merger betweek Linux and AROS x86, thus giving AROS users the benefit of more drivers, as well as acess to Linux apps and Windows appls via Wine, though with an AROS interface, at least that's what I believe the intended goal is.

Maybe Arix isn't 68k compatible as I thought? I dunno... so many distrobutions. So few videos demonstrating what exactly these can do.

It is not like amithlon. You need janus-uae for 68k integration.
Same as aros native, hosted and so aeros.

its not amithlon, except the similarity that like amithlon it runs a hosted system upon a linux driver layer under the hood. amithlon did it for amiga 68k i guess, arix does that with aros (presumably x64).
the advantage against genuine aros would be wider hardware choice, in fact the hardware choice that linux offers. another one would be multicore support out of the box.

So why run it vs. the various AROS variants?

Don't mean to smack talk anyones hard efforts, just curious what it would offer me vs. one of the AROS linux hosted versions.

Drivers, and for that fact that presuming AROS crashes (no memory protection, still in alpha/beta stages technically), you shouldn't have to do a full system restart in order to get back to your desktop. At least those are two advantages I see.

@XDelsuion

Arix will also provide multi-processor support, something still lacking in AROS.

Cool, thanks for the reply - not trying to belittle anyones efforts here, just curious what it will offer vs. the various AROS implementations, which I've had horribly bad results with, tbh.

Sure but only because it has not been added in Mainstream aros doesn't mean that it can't be added.

BTW the tread is in Repeating-Mode ; )
