Syllable, AtheOS NewsForge reviews Syllable, and concludes: "Overall, I was pleased with Syllable's speed and ease of use. Most of its drawbacks come from it not being finished yet. The glitches were minor and the lack of features in its applications come from them not being finished yet. I feel kind of guilty complaining that a browser that's on version 0.4 isn't full-featured enough, but for now, these issues prevent Syllable from being useful as a full-time desktop OS."

When Linux integrates proper Real Time support, its desktop performance should hopefully improve massively.

That said, for anything other than multimedia playback and software installation, SuSE 10.0 out of the box already beats the performance hell out of the most commonly used desktop OS, particularly if you load software to stop that OS looking like sh**.

*cough* Don't tell me you found 10.0 usable! *cough*
It's crap compared with 10.1 imho.

Regarding linux and realtime:
Linus has stated several times that linux won't be realtime (that is: the main tree) because that's too much overhead for a very small gain in userbase...

Regarding realtime: I'm now hearing different. Time will tell, I suppose.

Re Suse: a lot of people seem to agree with me about 10.0. I haven't tried .1 because a lot of people on the mailing lists are unhappy about it. .2 is supposed to be a hell of an improvement, however.
