BeOS had so much aura in the mid 90s. It shared a kinship with Linux in that it booted on our Macs and it wasn't official Apple software

I wanted it to win so much. I ordered the CD every release faithfully.

We definitely need more reincarnated ideas from the 90s!

BeOS was my jam. Dedicated my younger self to it and it was so much fun. A fresh OS with tons of amazing features for its time. Sad it didn't work out.

I ran it back in the day. Actually had to replace my winmodem for it and linux. I really liked BeOS. The software ecosystem was just not there. I spent most of my time browsing the web with mp3s playing in the background.

Love the 90s UIs. Apple Platinum, Rhapsody, BeOS, SGI IRIX in Helvetica Italics (without anti-aliasing of course).😆

I loved BeOS but as we we said back in the day "it's like OS/2 only without the apps!" and sadly I couldn't accomplish much with it

I always liked the BeOS design style. A modern quality take on it would look nice.

I still remember the cube with videos on each side while moving they were doing at events.

>> It shared a kinship with Linux in that it booted on our Macs and it wasn't official Apple software this sentiment is SO profound it kind of loops back to being stupid

I used BeOS for a few years. It helped heal my soul after failing to make my printer work on openSUSE.

very un official desktop environment for Omarchy, basically just a pet project. The binaries are a few days behind at the moment, but if ya tell claude to go grab the latest and build / install it should do it it's a hyprland replacement and pretty easy to undo if you want to go back (drop down at SDDM / login level) fits in decently, attempts to be compliant with the hyprland ipc so the integration to the omarchy menu bar and etc all work decently well

You can still find ATMs running it. Oldie but goodie.

It also booted on select Amiga hardware too. I used it when it was ported to x86 and every once in a while I check in on Haiku OS. Such a gem of an OS that should have garnered more attention from the computing industry

I remember replacing Windows 98 explorer.exe with Litestep and thinking BeOS UI was cool, until realizing the small title bar forces more mouse movement, making usage feel slower

Love that old UNIX aesthetic. Did some Common Desktop Environment (think old Solaris etc) themes for Omarchy over the weekend.

Here you go, guys, don't have too much fun! You can use 86Box, there's a comment with the instructions for that if you scroll down.

In 2026 too. It wasn't form ... it was function. It was an answer to a question 5 years before anyone asked it.

BeOS was the case study in how technical superiority was secondary to ecosystem dominance.

Remember, BeOS had a shootout with another unix NextStep from Steve Jobs, to become the next Mac OS

Well, it might have been originally. 😏 Oh hi Taligent source code.
