Announcements
- If you had issues getting to mintCast.org over the past few weeks, there was an issue with billing even though we were all paid up. Thanks to Josh Lowe for wrangling everything for us. The site is back up and going strong.
- Leo will be stepping down as Host for the foreseeable future starting with Episode 272. You’re in very capable hands and who knows? Maybe more community hosts!
- I’m not going far. I’ll stay on to help produce the shows in content and editing, and I’ll likely be back with a voice where I can find the open weekends.
- Next Episode – 2 pm US Central time on Sunday September 19, 2021
- Get mintCast converted to your time zone

Haiku OS:
About two years ago I read the book “In the Beginning was the Command Line”, by Neal Stephenson. It is a funny essay from 1999, and can be found free to download on internet. Not at least he talks about BeOS, and I quote: “The ideal OS for me would be one that had a well-designed GUI that was easy to set up and use, but that included terminal windows where I could revert to the command line interface, and run GNU software, when it made sense. A few years ago, Be Inc. invented exactly that OS. It is called the BeOS.”
As Haiku is “inspired” by BeOS I became curious in Haiku after reading the book. I flashed a USB with the Beta 2 ISO as well as the at the time latest nightly build. I tried several times on a Lenovo IdeaPad 100S-14IBR and a ThinkPad T430S. The boot process never completed. I did some research but not that deep.
I tweeted with Moss recently; he has also given it some attempts with same result as for me.
Beta 3 was released earlier this summer and I gave it a try today. To my surprise, Haiku started on both machines above! Wifi-connection was no issue. I played a couple of minutes with the live-USB tonight, checked the depot, started to read the introduction guide. I am inspired to look more into it. Not that it is a ready OS like eg Mint. But it is cool it exist and is in active development.
I am happy to hear if you give it a try. And of course if Distrohoppers test it as well.
Debian 11 Bullseye:
I also enjoyed your innards about Debian 11 Bullseye (and LMDE). I installed the Cinnamon version, and yes it is Cinnamon 4. I still prefer Mint, but Debian is indeed an OS to trust upon, and who knows, I may use it more daily one day.
