Is AmigaOS or its numerous cousin projects (MorphOS, Icaros etc.) actually viable for desktop use or is it just another memeos destined to fail gaining any traction? Windows has gone full botnet, Linux distros are generally a clunky unstable mess, Mac's "my way or the highway"approach is inexcusable - could this work as an alternative?
>>
What would you even do with a PPC machine?
>>
>>52348612
Most of the OSes seem to be aiming for ARMs nowadays actually, and Icaros is x86
>>
Seriously though, anybody here have experience with any of these?

Why the FUCK would you use Amiga these days? I mean come on, it's 2016!
>>
>>52350065
Why not?
>>
>>52350084
Because GNU/Linux is far superior.
>>
>>52350123
GNU/Linux on desktop is borderline unusable, driver confused garbage.

Wish these things would get an actually half decent web browser and not just webkit shit

It's sad that amiga left the mainstream segment. Their architecture and graphical co-processor where hacking paradises.
>>
>>52348561
No
not even EWS uses Amiga anymore

You do when they were one of the biggest evangelists of the OS.
>>
>>52353777
As far as I can tell the biggest evangelists are old farts that still listen to MOD music daily and demosceners (which are cool dudes however). One autistic furry doesn't change that

Looks like it's saying "only Amiga."

Windows in general has copied the AMIGA / AMIGA os and failed badly.. and yes linux is way better then Windos.. Mac is a pc period ,, now with closed source linux period. you want better get amiga classic.You guys had your chance with true 32bit ..true 64bit.. ,but blew Amiga off .Then the Itanium which by the way in 2003 is true 256bit in each core ,and 64 cores..Yet, you love the PARIsc ,but hate the ITANIUM ..dah thats what it is.. The you guys blew off the PS3..guess what thats an AMIGA clone.. you know its sad sad, you wouldnt be in this bs world of problems , and liars if you would be using amigas. Oh yeah the new vr and halo lens is again done by AMIGA in 1986. AMIGA invented in 1979. Inc in 1982.. Apple copied amiga. mac=pc=xboxone=ps4=8bit
