Disabling it resulted in a way snappier system, I wonder whether something is wrong with my system, since other reviewers have constantly lauded Haiku for its snappiness. Now, I hear that there is a new development that will improve the SSD performance by a factor of well over 10, so I am holding my breath…

Now, it’s arguable whether 3D printing applications are in the “long tail”, but a software written to optimize the schedule of one particular school certainly is. Personally, I am convinced that the classic “maintainer” model, where someone from a Linux distribution built and maintained packages for a certain operating system, just does not really scale, especially in the long tail of applications.

How would a company like Ultimaker, which is producing the popular open source 3D slicer software Cura, go about making a Haiku version? Ideally, the Haiku build would be just one more option in the already-existing Travis CI or GitLab CI build matrix. However, to be a successful platform, upstream application developers need to be empowered to produce haiku versions easily. Now, the Haiku development team is surely doing a great job of bringing many popular applications to the platform. What can we do to make Haiku succeed in terms of available applications? Win developers, simple.

I guess on day three it’s time for a reality check.

When I found out about Haiku, I tried it and was impressed immediately - especially with the “it just works” desktop that clearly is way and above any Linux desktop I know of conceptually. The Haiku operating system being demonstrated by DistroTube.
