Hello Petah, please clarify. Is your question related to user activity on the amigaworld website or computing in general?

I vote something else:
Decades of under investment and a failure to act on pandemic influenza review recommendations (including no restocking of out of date PPE in the UK) is taken advantage of by a virulent coronavirus! It sweeps the globe killing 100s of thousands and leading to the greatest economic depression since the 1920s! Oh hang on that already happened!
... or did you mean regarding the state of Amiga-like OS user bases / software development? It was quite a general question. Meteors and the eventual fact that the sun will run out of hydrogen also could be considered threats! _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art."

The question is so vague that it could be anything, but I said Lack of cheap, brand new hardware. Once we get that, we can complain about the software.

i still have hope ....

Give up. Even Hyperion isn't interested in supporting 4.x anymore; the individual developers have done work here and there on their different parts but there doesn't seem to be any interest from Hyperion to actually package it all together into 4.2, or even a second update to 4.1FE. It's all about going back to 68k and 3.x nowadays, unfortunately. |

Lack of hardware but also "regularly available hardware".
You are never going to grow a userbase if new hardware is only available for a sporadic limited time. For example if someone has say £500 / $600 to spend on OS4 hardware now there is nothing apart from used and some people will just walk away and look at other stuff.
If we had something like a PPC based Pi that ran OS4 (Something like Efika but more powerful) it would be much better.
I'd take that even further and try and bundle a "frontend" interface to RunInUAE and get it into the mainstream market with a joystick, something like the C64 DTV.
Problem would be pricing, I think the limit would be £100/$150 ish. Even that would too much for some folks i'd imagine. Look at how popular the SNES Mini, NES Mini, Megadrive Mini etc have been though. _________________ A1200, 68060/64MB/1.2GB/WiFi/AGAtoCRT/OS3.9 Pegasos I, G3 600Mhz/512/9200SE/80GB WinUAE, Ryzen 5 2400G/Vega11, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD,Win 10 Pro x64 Amiga Forever ! |

at the end of this year, it will have taken longer from OS4.1FE to OSx.yz than from AmigaOS 3.9 to AmigaOS4.0 BUT we got AmigaOSπ in the meantime. But it doesn't matter, it's just numbers anyway, as Update1 was released one year after FE |

| Hm, I first read the topic as "What is the biggest thread?"
This one is still less than 20 posts long, but it has potential ...
