My WinUAE installation already had Update 1 installed but AmiUpdate took forever to download Update 2 then Guru'd after asking to select the drive:
![]() Haven't used OS4 for months and checked today on the off chance any updates were available and Update 2 was there in AmiUpdate so tried to install it! Also, had to untick the AmiSSL update as it couldn't connect to GitHub to download! Any ideas why Update 2 Guru'd? Now Solved: Manually installed Update 2 without a Guru after the python update requester and rebooted, checked AmiUpdate again and installed 4 updates and rebooted, checked AmiUpdate and could then download/install AmiSSL, seems AmiUpdate is a bit temperamental!

I have been wondering if NG Amiga would finally be worth getting. I dont want to buy overpriced HW just to use Linux on it. I think it is good that OS4 is being developed. That Tabor just seems to take forever to materialize.

You can run it on WinUAE on a PC.

OS4 on WinUAE lowers the barrier for entry from $2000 niche hardware to an emulated environment on any modern computer, resulting in a lot more sold licenses

You could ask the same about people who spend thousands on classic Amiga hardware too, when WinUAE will do much the same thing for free. Yet people do because they want to run actual hardware.

I know, I have spent money on classic HW and there are people I know who will never understand. I love my Amigas. If it makes someone happy to get OS4 HW then they of course do what makes them happy. Its all fine. I have been checking how the development of those computers goes. I have been thinking I might buy a OS4 machine if price will be somehow reasonable. It was new to me that it actually runs in WinUAE (which I have never used).
