• # Chouette. Mais c'est quoi ?

    Posté par . En réponse à la dépêche Sortie d’Haiku version 1 alpha 3. Évalué à 5.

    Pour ceux qui se poseraient aussi la question :

    Haiku is a new open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

    Mais alors c'est quoi ? Une distribution supplémentaire ?

    Linux-based distributions stack up software -- the Linux kernel, the X Window System, and various DEs with disparate toolkits such as GTK+ and Qt -- that do not necessarily share the same guidelines and/or goals. This lack of consistency and overall vision manifests itself in increased complexity, insufficient integration, and inefficient solutions, making the use of your computer more complicated than it should actually be.

    Instead, Haiku has a single focus on personal computing and is driven by a unified vision for the whole OS. That, we believe, enables Haiku to provide a leaner, cleaner and more efficient system capable of providing a better user experience that is simple and uniform throughout.

    Je ne suis toujours pas sûr de bien comprendre.
