Great interview with Michal Schulz

Michal joined AROS in late 90's and was instrumental in making it run on real hardware: x86, PPC, ARM. He did a lot of low-level work with AROS before moving to Emu68.

Thank you for mentioning @deadwood (for sure I would have missed that)

The interview is a very informative one and definitely worth a watch.... I hope he's doing well.

I couldn't help on noticing that while Michal mention using LLM's in order to learn a new speaking/reading language (to not confuse with programming language) I was also watching the yt LLM generated subtitles.

The subscripted names for AROS are amongst others AOS, Aeros, AS or just OS and yes sometimes even AROS but I have pitty for Aaron who was subscripted as Aon Dgla

It put things into perspective, me thinks

BTW and not important just asking for curiocity: Arix was mentioned and I am a bit confused about Michal's statement on that subject that this is something he (still) envisions of doing if he could. Did he himself not participate on the first ARIX implementation ? (I always assumed he did, unfortunately I don't have a repo anymore to be able to verify). Note: I am not refering to the other (later) mention of Arix, which I recall as being his vision back then.

Thanks for sharing the news, great guy and great developer. Hope it will return soon to help AROS.

I still remember the smiley face booting in the pc, than sad … etc 🙂

I don't quite remember the details but I think there were two ARIX projects. One was about having a "hosted-hybrid" AROS on top of linux kernel. The other (called Anubis?) was about an Amiga-like API on top of linux kernel, so it wouldn't be source-level compatible but would be more like inspired by. Or I'm mixing stuff
