Anybody has experiences using Haiku OS? I wonder what can actually be done with it :) What popular software runs on Haiku?

@unfa Carla can run on HaikuOS! No MIDI, but audio works via SDL engine.
LMMS is there too by the way.

I try it from time to time, big fan <3
The stuff I need the most all works there, with the exception of docker (though that is kinda expected)

Once they have good USB streaming support (so sound cards work) I am considering changing, or at least trying it more seriously

@falktx @unfa That's really cool! I love seeing that Haiku and FOSS audio is so far along. I ran FreeBSD with Ardour for a while and found it to be quite interesting.

Sadly, I'm dependent on yabridge for plugins, so I'm back on GNU/Linux, but I love seeing cool stuff like this!

@boo_ @unfa well the good news is that wine (mostly) runs on Haiku too, so eventually yabridge could be made to work too! Or maybe through Carla, didn't try it yet.

@falktx @unfa The reason it doesn't work on FreeBSD is due to layout differences to Linux in /proc. Seems like yabdridge would need to be adapted to use more os-agnostic APIs or to use native APIs for other operating systems

@boo_ @unfa why not going for Carla wine bridges then? setting it up might be a bit of work, but then it is just a matter of drag&drop the plugin dll into Carla.
