     @kirby @ActionRetro Is current Haiku resource efficient for old/slow hardware? Mainstream Linux has been too fat for that purpose for a while now.

     The base install has changed little in 10 years, it has a package manager now to add stuff

     @kirby @ActionRetro @olmitch Yeah, that's what i mean, didn't it get fat too in the meantime? I can use and old distro on an old machine. My question was if modern Haiku can run snappy on old crapware. I assume it's a small, lean OS.
