I can say for sure one thing. AmigaOs4 have one "external" library that work better than Mesa linux too. It is the warp3d nova who dont have endianess in colors and work with all RadeonSI gpus without making the system unusable like the Glamor/EGL do today on my 64bit hardware.

You don't want to get me started on the "fast and reliable" statement, really... But at least I personally need Linux for a completely different purposen, than my NG Amiga systems, most of which OS4 (or other NG Amiga-like OSes) are unable to deliver. Additonally, most sane NG Amiga developers use crosscompiling tools heavily these days. Usually hosted on Linux (or similar Un*x systems)... Although usually that means x86/x64 Linux, for performance reasons, not PPC. > The Odyssey web browser is the fastest web browser on our NG Amigas.

That is not strictly true, especially the "without any problems" part. But it works reasonably well, there I agree. Sadly, it's WebKit engine is lagging behind as others pointed out. > If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team. Thanks. It was a nice markeking speech, but didn't really address the questions asked already. For example hardware availability issues. (Hardware seems out of stock everywhere?) Charlie |
