Now, if this particular point is what you want to discuss, let's just do it. Yes peecees are laggy, at least windows peecees. Most of the time things are fine, but all of a sudden an operation that should have been instant will take some seconds. Or your music player will miss buffers for no reason. Or some huge frame drop in a video. Choose. |

Not sure, if you are for real or just trolling ... well that probably means it is at least well done trolling ..
Some points are quite reasonable, others just hilarious. Quote:
But I would like to have the option to "freeze" a certain application and send it to disk at the actual state it is in - revoking it at any time later. But using a MMU to map and/or protect memory regions (also known as memory virtualization) is a must for a modern system, for stability reasons alone. But it should be done in form of a single address space, to speed up message passing. Quote:
at some point it will be possible to run UAE for games and use AxRuntime to recompile certain software. But compatibility-issues should not hinder innovation. This should be a fresh start. A system done from the scratch. It is not like we need yet an other platform to run old 68k software! This can be done on any modern OS via emulation as well as on OS4 and MorphOS. But what we are missing is a well behaved modern OS for modern hardware. Quote:
But artificial, non technical, limits are usually a bad idea. Quote:

Not a useful point in todays hardware. Quote:
Makes no sense ... Quote:
Network-stack should be the same as any other device or task and work in the same way: Message passing by pointing to a memory region Quote:

Some less cluttered platform, like a RasPi, with a more limited set of possible configurations, might be an easier starting point. Quote:

Amiga has kind of missed the boat. Linux is king and can be made to appear and function just like any other OS. |

Having a 'modern' screen resolution makes it less Amiga-like. When you do that problems arise with the way the Amiga does things. The mouse pointer gets small and hard to find. The menus at the top of the screen become a pain. You need a sharp high resolution monitor, and if you're old like me powerful glasses to read text in standard font sizes. Or you increase font sizes and create havoc with apps that can't handle it. IOW, all the problems you have with RTG on the Amiga. For effective use of modern video systems we actually need a less 'Amiga-like' OS. Menus should be attached to windows, not screens. Instead of Workbench functions being on a menu at the top of the screen, they should be accessed via a context menu activated with the RMB. In this way a minimum amount of mouse movement is required to do stuff, which becomes more important as the screen real estate increases. Quote:
