Do the command prompts only function in the form of haikus?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yes! And the verbosity of error messages depends on the quality of the haiku!

I do quite like Haiku. It's not quite ~~stable~~ usable enough for me yet, but I have no doubt that I'll be using it as a daily driver in the near future.

5-7-5 is pretty stable tbh.

I think I probably meant usable. Essentially, the last time I tried it, software like LibreOffice wouldn't run and I had a few minor issues with web browsing.

It's probably been fixed, come to think of it. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Sadly I think I threw out my BeOS 5 install CD when I moved last year. For me it was a very neat tool but Linux/KDE was superior.
