The modern Amiga distribution Amikit is out in a new version for the PC using amiberry. In this video I go through the installation and give it a quick test watching a demo.

One of the features of WinUAE I hope to see come over to Amiberry one day is the ability to set RTG refresh rates independent of Amiga native refresh rates. This way we can enjoy a responsive workbench desktop @60Hz or higher while also enjoying tear free and butter smooth Amiga graphics @50Hz. An added benefit would be able to have independent refresh rates between the host system and Amiberry. This might be a big ask because there may be limitation in SDL I’m not aware of that make this impossible to implement at the moment.
For now WinUAE on Windows is still king because what I describe is possible there, but Amiberry is closing the gap quickly.
Thankx, very cool vidéo!!
What version of amikit is this?
Why don’t you show some love for FS-UAE? It’s been active for years in both Linux and macOS and is almost “one on one” equal in characteristics with WinUAE, yet lacking some UI configuration options (which are right there if you use the command line or text config files)
Very nice video!
One of my ideas is to put a Framework laptop mainboard inside an Amiga case. This might be good software to run on that.
On the other hand…Debian… Now i am wondering if I can make a Nix package that installs all this stuff.
Thanks for an intresting video 🍻

It looks like an interesting product. What, if anything, does it offer over it's competitors? I hate the fact that, even today, many things on Linux tend to be clunky affairs, often requiring use of the terminal. Say what you will about Windows, but it rarely requires typing anything into a command line interface. I grew up with 8 bit machines, then Amiga, then MSDOS and Windows 3.x and so on. Typing things in to make it work was a necessity. I knew MSDOS pretty well, but thankfully Windows moved on. 20 years later, the Linux world still hasn't caught up. 😂
Can't Amikit just run on the Linux port?
