| 1 | | Hey there haiku devs, |
| 2 | | |
| 3 | | I have tried haiku back in 2005 or so. |
| 4 | | |
| 5 | | I also tried it again a few years ago. It's quite nice. |
| 6 | | |
| 7 | | I am using linux mostly and depend on ruby. I know of efforts |
| 8 | | to get ruby built on haiku from the ruby-core tracker, so that |
| 9 | | will hopefully work one day. |
| 10 | | |
| 11 | | But there are other things I actually sort of depend: for example, |
| 12 | | I'd like to have ffmpeg work on haiku. Also imagemagick. |
| 13 | | |
| 14 | | Perhaps a few more software stacks. |
| 15 | | |
| 16 | | Anyway. The thing is: is there some compatibility page somewhere? Something where this could be tracked for people who are curious about haiku? E. g. to see what works and what does not work? |
| 17 | | |
| 18 | | I'd like to try haiku more seriously, but I spent like the last 20 years on linux, so I need at the least some applications (this is why I mentioned ffmpeg and imagemagick; these two enable me to work with multimedia already as-is. And ruby. GTK3 would also be great but this is not absolutely necessarily.) |
| 19 | | |
| 20 | | Right now I don't know what works on haiku and what does not, so trying it out only to see that things don't quite work would not be quite worth my time investment. So this is a bit of a chicken-egg problem for me, and perhaps for others, whcih is why I think a compatibility page on the wiki or elsewhere would be useful. |
