Cherry OS Trial Available!


Question

Recommended Posts

  • 0

CherryOS I have to admit sucks as a program. It crashes when its trying to created Drive images, saying 'warning, this program may hang for 5 to 10 minutes while the disk is formatted' .... yeah, great programming there. 15 minutes later and my hard drive stops spinning about 4 minutes ago? Still no program responce. *blam* End Task'ed.

Next, it claims in the features that it supports sound, unlike PearPC. Check the hard to find release notes. 'There are currently issues with sound on most configurations'. ... See, 'we haven't finished coding it yet, but give us money anyway for something to emulate a PC to run an operating system that's primary use is multimedia.

PearPC at least admitted its foilbles, with the help of various frontends was easy to configure and didn't crash all the bloody time before the O/S had even started either!

holy CRAD!!!....DID YOU READ THE FRONT PAGE?!?!?......From the "creator" of Cherry OS. He said, that Cherry OS is based on a complet different code and archtecture and that is why they can achieve such stability and "speed".

MY A$$....there was no stability and speed and it was an almost 100% copy of PearPC....this guy is ****ing me off and who ever pays for this deserve to be slapped...

Yes its slow, yes it's unbearable, yes it's not a mac. But it's a view into the mac os world, wich I really need as an administrator and as a nerd. You can't excuse that they've taken the code from ppc, and expect to payed for it. I'm an open source fan, actively in the EU. But it has one advantage to ppc, ICS, which means that you don't have to hassle with your nic, or buy a new one.

I had a realtec nic rtl8139, but it didn't seem to work out with ppc, so my solution was cherryOS, with ICS.

But to newbees, open source fans, I would highly recommend PPc control panel

It works very good with ppc Pear ppc

Its much easier this way.

Slow old computer xp1600, 512, 2100, i know

I've enjoyed this thread, since it made me smarter, thanks to all of you.

Actually if you want PearPC on par with CherryOS in the ICS networking department get openVPN beta 2.0 from sourceforge http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/openvpn...ta2-install.exe

It works like CherryOS's extra NIC that gets installed. Instructions on how to use openVPN beta 2.0 with PearPC are found on http://dev.realistanew.com/win32net/

I could really care less if it is a rip of PearPC. If its better and it works, then why does it matter?

Can someone please clarify if it is actually faster than PearPC? Or are people recieving mixed results?

585599265[/snapback]

well how would u feel if you spent 5 yrs developing innovative software and then some jackass comes and copies your code and tries to sell it?

They are the same speed.

*edit

maybe not 5 yrs...but u get the pnt.

we should make it against the rules to even discuss this piece of crap on neowin. and put at a message on teh front page saying that it violates copyright laws. noone should be paying these ******s anything.

What copyright laws? You do realize that the whole reason for open source is to not have copyright laws right?

Most open source software relies on copyright. The majority of open source software is not public domain and is copyrighted. What they do have is far more lenient distribution terms and end-user use terms.

no, this is different. its not opensource, its theft.

585600422[/snapback]

I wouldn't call it theft, personally, I'd call it plagiarism, and a possible violation of their license terms. They didn't remove anything, but duplicated somebody else's work and took credit for it. If the allegations against CherryOS are correct, that is. :ninja:

Ok, we have established that many of you think CherryOS is a copy of PearPC under a different interface. Now, can we please get into something else? Like talking about bugs, product updates, specs, speeds, etc, about CherryOS?

I for one, need help. When using CherryOS, I got to the point in the OS X installation where you are asked to select a usable volume to install it too, but am not shown any places to install it (its blank). Why?

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
