    So no, HW is not the issue, what would be an issue (IMO) is that the underusage of the HW would be even more apparent when everyone has AT LEAST 4 cores and 8GB of RAM.


    No one said future MorphOS wouldn't support multiple cores and more RAM.




    If we go into dreams, I imagine going directly to Morphos 4.1 Final Edition Update 2. Its characteristics would be:
    - PPC support (Mac G4, G5, AmigaOne), X64 (APU Rizen on laptop and desktop) and ARM (Raspberry Pi 4/400/5, Chromebooks PPC, Orange Pi, Mac Silicon) with universal binaries.
    - PPC JIT interpreter and 68k JIT for old apps.
    - Abox classic 68K/PPC.
    - Abox NG PPC (AmigaOS 4, MorphOS "classic" apps).
    - memory protection (for old apps, each would be launched in a dedicated instance of its box to not crash the rest).
    - support for more than 1.8GB of RAM.
    - use of the Qbox.
    - multicore support.
    - multi-user support.
    - full Vulkan and OpenGL support for recent or integrated cards.
    - support for hardware video decoding and encoding integrated into modern GPUs (VP9, x265, h264...).
    - more printer drivers.
    - port of LibreOffice integrated into the OS like IRIS and Wayfarer (it's the last office brick I'm missing).
    - of course, MorphOS would still be as light and fast.

    All available to celebrate Christmas 2024. I accept February 2025 for my birthday.

    Thanks ! :-)
