Not really, I already use AmigaOS.
But let´s see, what it has to offer. _________________ AmigaOne X5000/40, 2.2 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, Radeon R9 280X, M-Audio Revolution 5.1, 240 GB SSD |

I want to congratulate terminills and the rest of his team on the pending release of Arix OS. For everyone who wants an up to date, next generation Amiga OS type system on all forms of modern hardware, x86, ARM, PPC etc Arix OS will be the way to go. AmigaOS 4.x over the last decade has been slipping to obsolescence and I for one am happy to see ArixOS hopefully breathe some new life into the Amiga. ArixOS is your AmigaOS now. Have fun with it, enjoy it and celebrate it. |
I think it's a bit premature to congratulate anyone or even label it as a next-gen Amiga. I expect the initial release will be a simple proof of concept. And if it is AROS-on-Linux, then the real next gen will come when they can really start delivering on things, like SMP, Memory Protection and all the other things modern computers take for granted.
That said, I wait with interest to learn more. Good luck, guys.

I just hope this start-up is in the garage not that play house.
Anyway, let's not take this stuff too serious guys and gals.

In fact it's not an Amiga, but at most an Amiga o.s./like/inspired o.s..

I don't think so. From the link provided before by a user, there's a commercial company behind with several people working at the project. This, plus the goals described in the page, makes my think that the product is mature enough to be sold.

Reading the description page, ARIX seems to have all this stuff... |

That's a fair stance to take. We (Arix Foundation) have no intentions of stepping on anyone's toes. We just want to get along with all sides of the Amiga community and live in peace.

lol Well, like I said it Arix is a Corp so I thought it fell in realm of fair game. Hope it is not too far. If so I apologize.
I mean, more or less, it's some guys working out of their home, so people can probably expect a 0.5% chance of something even showing up, so maybe just ignore them anyway.
Same to the Arix guys, maybe take it down a notch with the "Posts to the Official Corporate Website" B.S., we know you are just some Amiga fans working out of your house. (nothing wrong with that)
If you want to make something cool. Have at it. There is no reason to pretend like you are taking over the world or all of Amigadom while you are it though.

WTF are you talking about? To be honest I don't recall anyone involved making those claims. |
Reading this thread for the first time it just seemed like huge undertaking. Maybe I was just reading too much into it. Quote:
-Questions should be answered in 30 days when the corporate web site launches
-we get active with our FB/TW accounts
-We only have one chance to do this properly
-In 29 days the corporate web site
-Anything released by Arix Foundation prior to our corp web site launch
-bring forth a truly modern OS that can compete in today’s marketplace.
-Much like Apple’s relationship with open source community via Darwin.
-brings the user back in control over their many devices.
-You may purchase Arix OS native via our application store for a very reasonable price which includes basic support.
-offers developers a unique capability of offering their application or games via our secure application store
-Arix OS 2.x series has an aggressive target of universal environment for all CPU architects |
Everything is just Corporate this and Corporate that. And we only have one chance to get it right type stuff. And I guess maybe I was reading it was going to be a "Media Blitz" type thing with the Corporate Website and Facebook and Twitter. I mean, who is this "huge" target audience was all I was getting at.
And the scale seemed a little ambitious as usual for these type of Amiga projects.
App store no less, offering Support with your purchase, comparing yourselves with Apple, heck already planning Arix 2.0. We haven't seen 1.0 and it's already outdated. That is Apple like
Going to target ALL CPUs is ambitious I don't care who you are. ARIX Anywhere?
Anyway, I will leave it alone. Just seemed a little aggressive when I read through this and had to chuckle a little with all the "Corporate" stuff being thrown around I guess to make us feel like this is some huge conglomerate or something? But then again most of that was Dammy so go figure.

Sounds pretty much like Amiga DE or how it was actually called. Anyway, let's see what eventually will come out of this attempt. Good luck at least._________________ My programs: via.bckrs.de MorphOS user since V0.4 (2001) |

Who cares what some clueless Commodores Exes wanted? They never even used AmigaOS. Windows NT was not the successor to AmigaOS.

Sorry ... but that still seems like a somewhat weak excuse ... And from posting public information to pointing to pictures of private property is IMHO crossing a line. I for one would not be too pleased with this. Would you ?

Yes, I know that comparing this endeavor to Apple is a little far fetched, (but who knows ) but even the big Apple we all know today started in a garage box. It's just how dreams often start.

Some guys working out of their home ... sounds like Hyperion. Does that mean you would apply your reasoning to Hyperion as well ?

| I would not say anything until I have it installed on my hard disk being able to use it.
But in my opinion all this secrecy is simply with no use.
What is X was a cool teaser that brought a new Amiga. Lets see ehat Arix countdown eould bring....
I am reading all those hints that mention an Amiga flavour system running on all available architectures. And all these packed again in secrecy... Ok if the result would be a Linux hosted crap, then this will be pure fail. _________________ Peg1, Peg2, Efika, Amiga 500, Amiga 1230, Amiga 4000PPC, Sam 440EP, AmigaOne XE, MacMini PPC, PowerMac G4, G5 |

| Potentially very interesting, but will withhold an opinion on it until we see what it actually is first. Hopefully it's a linux kernel, but uses AROS for Amiga calls/GUI, etc. Ideally with the 68K Rom and seamless emulation for older stuff. So basically AROS with Linux internals, but not simply AROS hosted on top of Linux.
I do wonder what their business plan is though. Are they going to charge users for it or monetize it in some other way? Guess we have to wait and see.
