Augustin Cavalier babcaa3c29 runtime_loader: Resize heap areas instead of creating new ones. This is more efficient and works most of the time. Additionally, we can potentially join with a previous free chunk in the allocator, avoiding extra fragmentation on the heap. app_server (on x86_64) only has 1 "rld heap" area after this change with a size of 0x50000 (320KB), whereas previously it had around 7 with a total size of 0x80000 (512KB).		2025-01-07 17:30:29 -05:00

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
