Operating system trials for March 2024 (2024) (2024)

I have a vague idea: try a bunch of operating systems I’ve not tried before or recently. I have a spare System76 PC and a Raspberry Pi 4 and I have a few hours every Monday to try and play with them.

See this thread on Mastodon and suggest something for me.

Not on Mastodon? You can email me too.

So far people have suggested:

  • Haiku
  • FreeBSD
  • TempleOS
  • RiscOS
  • OS/2
  • And many more.

Trying Haiku

I tried to get Haiku to work. It didn’t. I filed a bug to see if I can get help getting that working.

I’m going to try again next Monday.
