How’d the BeOS scheduler work? Every desktop OS should just copy that. It felt like magic. Only thing I’ve seen since that even comes close is iOS, and it cheats by killing programs left and right (and has lost a little ground on that front over the years, anyway).

QNX Photon wasn’t far off but was never a realistic option for an everyday desktop (even less so than BeOS, which was at least intended as such).

Yeah, just copy BeOS.
