Does anyone know if haiku can run Python 3? I know that haiku comes with Python but thedefault version is 2.7.

Haiku has Python 3[0] (at 3.6.7 IIRC) which can be installed from the package manager.

That's a really impressive achievement I think, those are complex applications running on complex stacks. It's certainly a big step in the direction of making Haiku a system that a developer could plausibly run for the development of cross-platform applications. This coupled with the Libre Office port last year means there's a pretty strong selection of applications for it cropping up.

I wonder if Valve has hackathons and if the Proton guys want a new challenge.

As far as I'm aware, Haiku doesn't have hardware 3D acceleration of any kind. So, please!

I have apparently been living under a rock and hadn’t heard of Haiku. Looking at the screenshots, it instantly reminded me of BeOS. I ended up reading the Wikipedia page on BeOS for some nostalgia and it mentioned Haiku. Glad to see BeOS still around in some form — definitely was ahead of its time!

Haiku is basically BeOS R5 plus some much needed modernization. Great stuff. We need an open-source operating system 100% focused on the desktop.

I agree. In my opinion though, Haiku's insistence on becoming just another platform to run your UNIX software stack on means it will probably never succeed at that goal.

How is it different than macOS?
