I got a Be t-shirt when I bought BeOS 5 (which I used as my daily driver for a long time after they folded.) Then, I got a job at an IT unit inside a very heavily Mac using department of a university. We all went to Apple’s WWDC every year and every single year, I wore my Be shirt to the Stevenote. Lol Little side note: That book on BeFS was written by the person who wrote BeFS. He ended up at Apple and not surprisingly, HFS+ quickly got journaling and indexing. There’s also a book called Programming BeOS, I think. I owned it but that was a long time ago.
Thank you for making this video, I think that the BeOS is nowadays almost forgotten even though it was great system. Also, I'd rather not know how much time you put into editing this video, everything was perfectly made and I kept my focus on for the whole video. There's only one small detail, I think It'd be helpful if you somehow change the camera angle so that you're looking at least a bit more towards the lens (and towards our eyes). Otherwise everything was perfect and video was not also very well edited but also prepared. Thank you for time and effort.
Thanks! I did my best with the camera, it’s kinda hard because I’m dealing with a tiny room in a tiny apartment lol. I will try to improve as best as I can.
You make great videos, including this one. If I had to make a suggestion I would say either stick to voiceover or do takes where you are looking straight into the camera. The angle and background of watching you read is just a little off. I know that without a teleprompter it means you’ll probably have to memorize parts of your script but you’re already cutting to B-roll at certain points so it’s not like it would have to be one long continuous take
I understand and have gotten that feedback before, and I will work towards that in my next videos along with using more B-roll and making it more varied.
My favorite operating system. I ran it exclusively in the early 2000's. Lack of good web browser support and hardware drivers had me move on. But, I recently built myself a Be Box using period accurate (and compatible) hardware, which is easier said than actually done!
It is annoying that people don't know about Be/Haiku. But other OSs too. There used to be so many computer companies, cpu acrhicectures, GPU makers, OSs and other stuff in the era before 2000. Now there is only a few left. Most annoying part being that it is not even the best ones that succeded.
How did I not get bored of looking at someone reading their research paper this whole time. lol well done. Look forward to more in depth stuff like this.
Firstly, this isn't an insult, but an observation. There is some so sublimely interesting about the camera framing in this video. Initially, I was kind of thrown off by the upper-left positioning and lack of eye contact, but eventually I became fascinated. Videos prior to this did not utilize your person as part of the presentation, but rather solely as a narrator. Given that, my mind jumped first to this being a new thing for you, leaving you unsure of how much "eye contact" should be maintained. However, thinking on this further lead me to the conclusion "what does it matter" as your physical presence on screen still adds a layer of personhood to the video. Do whatever makes you comfortable and improve/develop your presentation style in whatever way you see fit. The contents and scripts of your videos still maintain a great degree of engagement!
I thought it was weird at first because of how unusual it is, but when I got used to it I actually appreciated it. Feels less invasive and it made me stick around for the whole video. I usually don't have eye contact with people so that's probably why I liked it.
A face reveal? Amazing! This video was really well done! I love your humor! Important to note, only the 32bit version of Haiku is binary compatible, the 64bit version is not. Also, that "mostly posix compatible" part, which is still true for both versions of Haiku, can bite you in the butt if you try to compile things on it. Ask me how I know.
I meant to bring the 32-bit binary thing up. It's also only the 32-bit version compiled (partially) with GCC 2.95 because of C++ ABI issues. That's the only binary build, but you can compile for x86 without GCC 2.
I found it not working in bare metal. Run in a VM is fine though. It serves the nostalgia of that era. Frankly speaking it has no other value. Linux distro is mile ahead.
I remember be os back in university, I hated it , but it was championed by the lecturers for programming Eiffel, this was back in the days of Netscape, it felt like a poor man’s unix, by the second year nearly everyone used the windows boxes even for programming, v3.2 was buggy to the point that unless you were on one particular course no one used them
One thing that I think that was completely missed on this video was that the OS is alive and well... HP launched the software for their PalmOS product line that failed around 2003 which then lead to it being bought by LG which lives on as WebOS for their smart TVs...
I tried to install Haiku on a modern machine with an ASUS B560M MB, Intel Core-I5 processor, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, all SSD drives, and a midrange RX5500XT GPU. ZERO recognition of any of the above hardware, no drivers. I do have an old ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard on a TrueNAS server, bet Haiku would work well there.
Can I be fairly honest about the face reveal? It's amazing to see you investing more into your channel and trying new things, however, I feel like the weird camera angle, combined with you clearly reading off the screen and, most importantly, not looking into the camera, results in face reveal not adding a lot of value to the video. However, the rest of the video is well-scripted and well-researched as always, and it is really fun to see you try new things; keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback, as I have said in other comments, I plan to use facecam less in future videos. The weird camera angle is kind of unavoidable in my tiny apartment, but I'll try my best to deal with this in the future.
if you’re gonna do live sections, you should really make it less obvious you read the words off a screen. great video otherwise
yup... another youtube video that just reads wikipedi.....

I booted up Haiku today and the Programming BeOS book is actually called The Be Book and it's included with Haiku. Fully documents the entire API.
@@eddieromanov No, the Be Book is a different thing. There's an O'Reilly book called "Programming the Be Operating System" too.
4:03 now that's a clever way to include the source for the clip!

Absolutely true.
Wake up babe, new distrohopper vid just dropped.
I recently discovered your channel and it is awesome! I hope more people discover your channel. You absolutely deserve it!

yes. if you are going to read, do it off a tablet near the camera...
first video of yours i watched and didn't even realize it was a face reveal lol, great video!
Great video, quite detailed whilst not being too long. would've liked if you had set the video to look like you were looking at the camera tho :).
I'll do my best for the next one.
Be-Os ran on the Tascam SX-1 recording systems.

@@David_Phantom This was to prevent kids from writing "You suck" etc on hearted or pinned comments lol
@@DistrosProjectsI haven't had enough warted comments to notice. 😛 Thanks for re-hearting it!
A great video as always, but I prefer the older editing style with content on screen all time, helps with focus :)
Thanks for the feedback! I plan on doing less facecam and making it more varied in the future.
@@DistrosProjects Varied is probably the best idea 🙂
One of these days I'll try Haiku on a spare Thinkpad.

The Linux kernel/Qt based WebOS doesn't share any code or design principles with BeOS.
and sadly LG doesn't build their WebOS in the same way. buggy. after using LG WebOS for many years, FireTV is much better. Roku 2nd.
I tried to install Haiku on a modern machine with an ASUS B560M MB, Intel Core-I5 processor, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, all SSD drives, and a midrange RX5500XT GPU.
ZERO recognition of any of the above hardware, no drivers. I do have an old ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard on a TrueNAS server, bet Haiku would work well there.
I paid for my BeOS (and GoBe Productive). The next year, they just gave it away. I didn’t even get a T-Shirt out of it!

Edit: can you love my comment again because I edit and can you comment my comment?
Hikau.OS... BeOS for now...
great topic, but not a fan of watching someone reading web sites to me.
