I have adequate undertsanding about computers and software, so if my HW supported i would bite the bullet and switch to ArcaOS or eCom (if it is still maintained).

I assume Calibre (PyQt required) and Telegram (Qt5) is not available as the Qt5 port is not yet mature enough (FIXME), but i can survive that ( i already got it mostly working on Haiku, but had no time to package it yet because the many dependencies). Otherwise i have an X200s and a T440s (but i would not use this for OS/2 as this is my main Haiku machine)Īs there is no real way (AFAIK) to test my hw with ArcaOS without buying it first i would ask you guys: is my HW supported by ArcaOS (i know, it is not easy to answer) and if my use cases covered by available applications on ArcaOS? HD4000 GPU with 1 external screen (<- important) I got an intel i5 3337U based ultrabook (Acer Aspire M5, UEFI with CSM) A relatively modern compiler toolchain to try to port the programs what i mostly use (we are using GCC8.3 on Haiku for example) Ability to copy books to my FAT32 ebook reader Ability to copy music to my rockboxed ipod Torrent (using Transmission right now, can be anything else) IRC (with the ability to connect to more than one server in the same time) I am old-school if it is about computers, i don't like fancy eye-candy, i need only a stable OS. Yesterday i felt the urge to switch the OS on the media PC to something new again, so maybe this time i could pick OS/2. Nowadays i use BSD for media consumption, and using Haiku since the beginning of the project to port open source projects. I once installed eCom station (downloaded from some shady website), but had no real chance to get more experiences, as my hw was not really supported that time. So far my path was the following:ĭOS -> Win3.1 -> Win95 -> Linux -> Win98 -> Win98/SE -> BeOS -> Windows XP ->Zeta -> Linux -> OSX -> Linux -> BSD

I am using computers since DOS5 or so and somehow the different OS's was always more interesting to me than the user programs. I am a new user here with somewhat broken english, sorry about that.
