Haiku OS

Sometimes Haiku operating system surprises us with the simplicity and power of the implemented solutions by its developers. It is the case of Filer, a utility for the automatic organization of files.

Filer for those coming from the Mac world is a sort of Automator. If you open a file with this application or drag a file on its icon, this application performs a series of operations. In fact, it can move, rename, copy and do many other things according to the rules set by the user.

Haiku used by Interac

Although Haiku OS cannot necessarily be seen as a “slimmed down” operating system, it shows itself extremely quickly after an exceptionally fast installation in a virtual machine with only 1024 MB of RAM. Interac online casino sites often use Haiku to control the start-up process, loading of applications, and the general, ongoing operation. The Haiku desktop is familiar with conventional desktop icons, but there is no taskbar or menu bar. A small menu box at the top right of the screen not only serves as a compact menu but also shows open programs and an information area for the time, information on the battery level of the device, network connections, sound, system load, etc.

Along with the Filer, there is also an AutoFiler, which instead of operating on a set of user-selected files can be used together with the system and monitor some folders to perform operations following the rules set by the user.

AutoFiler is an application that works in the background and can be stopped using TeamMonitor or applications such as ProcessController. AutoFiler Settings allow you to configure AutoFiler. You can add, edit or remove monitored folders and enable or disable automatic launch when the system starts up.

New online casinos choose Haiku

Due to the simplicity and versatility, many new online casinos choose Haiku OS. They mostly use it for slots and gaming applications. The rules set by the user make it easy to control apps and programs those online operators need to manage the workload efficiently.

Most new casinos choose the Haiku R1/Beta3 version, which was released in July 2021, but they are expected to upgrade to the Haiku R1/Beta4, which is currently under development. The upgraded version will be much faster, which is better for the games.

A few kits have been completed, while developers are still finalizing details for the rest. Two of the most important upgrades that casinos use and that have been implemented include symmetric multiprocessing support and a virtual file system.

About Haiku operating system

Haiku OS is an open-source operating system licensed under MIT and available for various platforms, such as x86, PPC, ARM, and MIPS. Written in C++ is not a Linux distro, since it does not use this kernel, but a hybrid kernel and a graphical interface or desktop environment also called Haiku. Like FreeBSD and other open-source operating systems, it can be a good alternative for those looking for something other than GNU/Linux without using proprietary software.

Haiku OS is intended to be a general-purpose operating system, specially designed for personal and multimedia use, inspired by BeOS and having speed, efficiency, and ease as its main pillars for the development of its whole environment. The project is led by Haiku Inc, a non-profit organization based in New York. By the way, BeOS was also another project initiated by Be Incorporated to create an operating system with some POSIX compatibility for PCs.

A monthly report has highlighted the efforts that its developers have been making, as usual. And mainly the developments have been system-oriented for the 32 and 64-bit hybrid support that is not yet complete, improvements in the user interface, synchronization with the device drivers for FreeBSD 11, fixes in their UEFI support system, media updates, and support for the GNU GCC 8 compiler, since Haiku uses several GNU programs, such as Bash, etc.
