Keeping on track with Krita (alpha6 build from master source) and Qt6 builds together with upstream developers, with PyQt6 enabled I can now also use the python scripts in Krita on Haiku. 
(not that I would know how to, as much as I don't know how to code) 
Also the development of BeAim for Haiku is very active these days !
Guess I’ll have to install it on my machine tomorrow.

In light of this, I'm recalling that #beos has a more message passing mechanism and I'm wondering if that avoided this problem considerably...
Freundliche Erinnerung daran, dass es mit uns immer noch #LiMux (oder ein anderes freies #Betriebssystem) geben würde.

Wesley Gardner presents: Draw and Paint Better with Krita
A nice article on a book that's been released on Krita, read more at:
https://krita.org/en/posts/2025/draw_and_paint_better_with_krita/
To bad it doesn't mention Haiku in there as a OS that's been supporting Krita for some time already.
@beecycling @TheBreadmonkey quite right too! I only have Windows for gaming and the occasional work compatibility testing I need to do. I’m either macOS or Linux (various flavours - just wish I could use #HaikuOS full time). Working towards leaving the Apple ecosystem in the next 12-18 months.
Updates on the progress of NVIDIA support on Haiku so far:

KDE release the release candidate for the 6.13.0 frameworks, time to test drive these together with experimental Qt6 6.8.3 here. :)
Using (an uptodate) KDevelop is a handy IDE for Haiku (as there are others like the native Genio IDE). :)
@Krita This screenshot was from building Krita in Terminal, while using DESTDIR it looked like not all was in place, when packaged to has the more native Haiku look and feel, thanks for the icons by 3dEyes!
Wait a minute, Haiku has Floorp but BSD doesn't?
WTF? #BSD #HaikuOS #computing #operatingsystems #Floorp

Nvidia's Open GPU Kernel Modules: A Leap for Haiku OS and Vulkan Support
Nvidia's recent release of their open GPU kernel modules under the MIT license has opened new avenues for Haiku OS, enabling the initial port of the NVRM driver. This development not only enhances the...

On March 22, 2008, the Haiku team announced, that ACCESS Co Ltd. agreed to publish the BeBook and the Be Newsletters. These ressources provided valuable reference material for developers. #BeOS #ACCESS #HaikuOS https://www.haiku-os.org/news/2008-03-21_bebook_and_be_newsletters_available_online/
OpenSCAD 2021.01 now availabe on Haiku (64bit only for now).
Thanks to @joe for pointing this out and the pointer on building it for Haiku!
Thanks to @waddlesplash for poking me into looking to porting it to Haiku! :)
EDIT: after fixing CGAL for 32bit, OpenSCAD is now also available for that on Haiku.
Enjoy!
In case people missed it, there is a new effort of getting newer NVIDIA GPUs working on Haiku:
https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/haiku-nvidia-porting-nvidia-gpu-driver/16520
It is using a port of NVK for Vulkan support. This is the first screenshot of GPU acceleration in Haiku with an NVIDIA GPU.
