@tlosm

It's been suggested in a prior post that this is a joke.
I tend to agree with Cloanto's recent post here though, regarding their clarification over the Amiga Mini:

Quote:

Any news to the contrary are not only incorrect, but they are fueling tensions in difficult times. We are aiming for clarity, and we know that this is not the way to achieve it.

If an intended joke fuels tensions, then somehow the humor in that joke gets lost, does it not?

I hope it’s a joke too. Unless the “marriage” is between the Amiga OS API and the Linux Kernel. In that case I could at least use that at work, with a bit of luck and imagination

What we can see is definitely Amiga OS4.1. Could Linux be in the background running a virtual machine that allows Amiga OS direct access to the hardware? Why is SysMon called Monsys? All we know is that Trevor does like giving us teasers with not much to go on.

Did anyone else notice that in both this and the A1222 beta screenshot, the RadeonHD driver is at 3.3? The rest of us have either 1.x or 2.x versions.

MorphOS is mature on X5000, having run on it for what, 2 years? 3?

Not really, its very much still a beta, although 3.10 should be finalized soon.
The video card drivers for everything above the R500 series only having been done in the last year.

Was an initial port shown? Yes.
Was it mature? No.

A much closer to mature port has been shown recently.

And as to speculation that the development team would sell MorphOS PPC, they didn't sell it to Bill, why would they sell it to Trevor?
Especially to see it skinned as an OS4 lookalike.
No, that is about as far off base as possible.

And the PPC fork? As the next revision will support the X5000, there will be at least one more revision before an X64 fork is released, and the PPC OS will still be there after that fork (although no longer a priority)...I don't see it disappearing.

Let alone being sold off as some kind of afterthought.

And yet the revision number is correct for Warp3D from OS4.1FE.

Its OS4, why the changes?
Who knows.

But 'weird' is not unusual in the Amiga community (or drama for that matter).

No no, silly.

It's because the forthcoming change in ISA will be little endian so in big endian it has to be backwards to be forward. All clear?

AFAIK the necessary MorphOS drivers for X5000 support were written years ago. There is no reason to believe that these particular drivers haven’t been ready (now mature) for a very long time. And even though X5000 support will be introduced to the public with the next MorphOS version, it wouldn’t be true to say that 3.10 is about X5000. The X5000 is at best a parenthesis. Also, MorphOS is always a moving target under constant (asymmetrical) development between releases. Only at the time of a feature freeze, the final release specifications are decided upon based on what components are ready enough for consumers at that particular point in time, and then a version number is slapped onto whatever feature set that might be. All other developments are not included and is instead saved for a future release, when they have reached a stable, non-beta stage. In that sense, MorphOS 3.10 has never been in beta and never will be, since beta components would per definition never be considered as part of a release until they are deemed non-beta.

Quote:

Video card drivers are not part of specific systems like X5000, they are platform agnostic and could very well be developed mainly for the MorphOS x64 migration.


Quote:

Was it mature? No.

Of course it wasn’t, as it is floating work in progress (containing work in various levels of maturity) and does not necessarily represent what you will actually get once they feature freeze and package a release out of it.

Which is why the “it’s a joke” assumption feels implausible. There simply is no humor there, nothing funny even by a stretch. Not even some April 1st joke, since it’s the wrong season for that, and again, nothing funny.

The context in which it was shown, "Just your usual Linux desktops?” (and then a picture of a de-branded OS4 among those Linux distros) instead suggest that a message of some kind is being communicated, though cryptic. IMHO, they want us to answer that question in our heads just the way you did: “No, not all of those are Linux desktops, the last one is definitely OS4.1, even though it doesn’t have those names we are used to. Names or not, it’s OS4 alright!”

@TRIPOS

I have a feeling ... Linux x86 with gui amigaos theme and qemu ppc that run Amigaos apis
Like did by wine.

I may have a more specific answer to all this tomorrow, but for right now I'm obligated to keep my mouth shut.

Same here, too! I use Safari, Firefox and Chrome on macOS High Sierra, Firefox and Edge on WIndows 10 and - of course (!) - Netsurf on AOS 4.1 FE U1. All those browsers show the same empty layout theme since a few weeks.

Nice!

Much better in IBrowse now. :)

Seems to me that Trevor got the problems solved.

It looks like new Radeon driver really uses GFX memory above 256 MB. Well done!

Yes, it really does.
