It is simple. Apple switch to unix on ppc before switch to x86. Everything below gui was cut off. Almost all classic Mac Os was gone. |
Which is simply false: compatibility with MacOS applications was kept in the first years, even after the transition so MacOS X / Unix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_macOS_components#Classic The Classic Environment, usually referred to as Classic, is a hardware and software abstraction layer in PowerPC versions of Mac OS X that allows most legacy applications compatible with Mac OS 9 to run on Mac OS X.
As usual, you have no clue at all of what you're talking about!

Not possible without tests. |
LOL. You also have no clue about coding. Is there something of which you really have some knowledge?
Of course, yes: this is possible even WITHOUT tests. Quote:
Not possible without source and binary compatibility with 68k apps. |
Which, as I've already said, AROS HAS from years now! Quote:

AROS is best proof that cdimauro has problems with reality. After twenty five years of development still has not working mui. |
Again, you're talking about things that you no clue at all.
AROS' Zune isn't 100% MUI compatible, but it's largely compatible. So, it's working.
If you want to have 100% MUI compatibility on 68K you can just use the regular MUI libraries, and you have it. And that's simply because AROS 68K is source AND binary compatibile with the old Amiga o.s., so you can mix AROS and Amiga o.s. libraries and/or applications.

AmigaOS 4.1 doesn't try to compete with or provide an alternative to modern OSes. I don't think it ever has.

Of course AmigaOS 4 was meant to provide an alternative to other ("modern") OSes, that's the sole reason the project was started 20 years ago. This whole "it's just a hobby!" and "support the Amiga!" nonsense was invented later, after the original project had failed to reach its goal.
Which is why the sales pitch for OS4 these days is: "it's not useful at all for getting work done, so we decided to only sell it bundled with this super-expensive desktop Workstation". |
