Sonnet crescendo 7200 and OS4.1

Where did you hear you need to make a donation to get access to ARM builds of AROS?
This idea is absolutely bizarre and completely incorrect.
How did you even come to this baffling conclusion, or who told you and how did they come up with this creative idea?
Want to download AROS for ARM? Simple, go to aros.org and download the latest nightly ARM build. It's as easy as that. No compiling needed, no money needed, just download from the site.

Far from important, but Im somewhat curious where all this garbage misinformation comes from. It's clear as day what the truth is. You just need to check the website.

To be fair to Lou, there only appears to be a Linux hosted armhf download available on the arose website, not the native Pi version.

Though I suspect he's referring to Pascal's Aeros distro for Pi here.

Wrong thread doh!

Gee! No compiling need needed, as long as you use the target platform.
Hallelujah.
In the meanwhile, there are builds on some platforms that require a donation to obtain the latest version.
And other builds that while listed as maintained appear to have not been updated for months (or in  a few cases years).
BUT, a rabid fanboy has to label an inquiry "garbage", rather than civilly offer  assistance.

Way to go fishy.
Your "charm" does wonders toward promoting the adoption of the OS.

Well, duh, that's how software works, or do you expect software to magically appear for platforms that aren't targeted?

In the meanwhile, there are builds on some platforms that require a donation to obtain the latest version.

Again, duh, as this is not true, and you are talking about a certain distribution, not AROS itself. Surprisingly, companies also require you to pay up to buy their Linux distributions, can you imagine.

And other builds that while listed as maintained appear to have not been updated for months (or in  a few cases years).

Before going in rampage with nonsense, you should educate yourself about the project.

AROS has little use for users, it's targeting developers for progress. People who do little other than download and whine about it are rightfully ignored. You can earn your right to whine and complain by donating to the mentioned distro, and then get support.

@iggy

What do yo even think you're talking about there?

Any chance you could be more vague or obtuse?
 
Pointing out innaccuracies makes me a "fanboi" does it?
Nothing I said was wrong. It was said in a completely nonchalant manner.
You're a very weird duck.
You're also very wrong.
But as anyone who has been around for more than a few weeks knows you have very little to say, so your response is expected.

Now how about you go entertain yourself with delusions elsewhere?
I have zero interest in them.
Well apart from how sad they make you appear. That part is entertaining.
So many claims of "my friends at", or, "I spoke to the people at",..... it's freaking hilarious by now.
Moreso when the people you claim to know are actually mocking you when they read your claims (and they do).

Moderator Edit strong opinions and diagreements are one thing but personal attacks are a violation of the ToS.

Come on that's a personal attack,  which borders on abuse.

Only Linux hosted for armhf there Kolla, no Pi native build.

I'm not concerned over childish behavior, kolla and fishy have been rabid fanatics for awhile and when you question their pet project they just get pissy.

I've been using computers since the SWTPC 6800 SS-50 system was introduced, worked with a company that built its own 68000 and 68020 systems up until the '90s, and currently work with friends developing boards that use 6809, 68000, and FPGA components.

Amiga hobbyists hardly concern me, as there's a large percentage of eccentric people in that community.

In the meanwhile, I think lou's discussion has brought up a couple of good ideas.
I'll have to look into the native Pi version of AROS, and a Linux hosted version of AROS for the WiiU ought to be possible.

On the PPC idea, I suppose I could contact Staff Verhagen, if he's still developing. He intermittently get discouraged at the lack of consistent momentum that has always plagued AROS.

But what I won't do is take the negative input from heavy biased hobbyists to heart. Since I'm absolutely sure I have more experience and education than both of them combined.

Lou.... let's see what we can get done.

I'm currently not doing AROS development but because of the reason you mention here. My interest has just moved to other things, like developing ASICs.

Hosted is just as native as non-hosted, but that is beside the point here, it was this hosted build that claimed to require donations.

I am a rabid AROS fanatic now? Wow!

Running it hosted is not the same as running it on bare metal. There's always a performance hit.

After my checking PM's on another forum, I believe I was lookng for an ARM port and was referred to
https://aeros-os.org/styled-11/index.html

This really wasn't meant to start another battle.  As a casual user, I just wanted to try it out and that's what I was pointed at by a user in a private message.
When I post, I talk generally.  People really jump too much to argue over specific details.  Well, that's the internet for you I guess...

[nicholas]

It was about 2 years ago in 2016.  Like I meantioned before it was for the EFIKA port...which looks like an older version of the PI 3B just from looking at specs...

That's AEROS not AROS.

A commercial distro running on top of Linux.
