Hello from Haiku!

I have no plans to switch over to Haiku as a daily OS. (Not yet, anyways, but maybe one day!) I am running it on physical hardware, though. Specifically, I'm running it on my main laptop on a spare hard drive. WebPositive's a bit laggy, but, otherwise, it feels pretty nice. Maybe one day I will actually be able to run it instead of Arch.

And, to be clear, it is just WebPositive that's lagging. Typing this is unbearable, but if I open, say, Pe (the included text editor) up next to this, it feels just fine. So it's something weird about WebPositive in particular. I may go try Otter or NetSurf (other browsers I can easily install) and see how they feel.

Oddly, though, the YouTube video I had open in the screenshot played fine. It didn't studder or anything like that. The page itself felt awful, but the video worked no problem.

(And, incidentally, no, it wasn't just that I was playing a youtube video. I've closed it and this still feels awful.)

Right, so Otter definitely feels better than WebPositive did. I'm now, just for the heck of it, going to try to compile Pale Moon (the browser I normally use) just to see if I can get it working.

Alright. Pale Moon is a no-go. (I mean, it's *not*, strictly speaking, but I don't have the spoons to work out build errors right now.) Ah, well.
