If such a bastardized (?) Haiku on Linux kernel (Laiku?) were available for
download, I might well try it, if it could run from a USB stick or GPT
hard-drive partition.
There would be the feeling that if it were on a Linux kernel, I might prefer a
non-Haiku/BeOS interface.
Let's see what haoppens before passing judgement.
So I've said "Linux or *BSD" numerous times. My current work is on top of
Linux but I would be fine with a FreeBSD kernel as well (supporting both
isn't impossible)
Sia.
I pointed out that there is precedent for such a hybrid.
I believe Arch, Debian and Gentoo are porting their Linux userland and
framework to run on FreeBSD kernel but with no intention of dropping their
Linux-proper development.
I was never interested in that, figured I'd rather use FreeBSD userland and
ports on FreeBSD kernel, and a GNU/Linux framework on Linux kernel.
Linux and FreeBSD kernels offer USB 3.0 support.
Some, or should I say, many, Linux device drivers are better than their FreeBSD
counterparts.
One that sticks out with me is Ethernet on MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard: FreeBSD
(OpenBSD and DragonFly too) recognize Realtek 8111E but fail to connect, but
good with Linux, NetBSD and Haiku R1Alpha4.
