Half-Life 2 running natively on HaikuOS

Half-Life 2 has been successfully ported to run natively on HaikuOS, compiled from open-source engine code, marking a significant milestone for the operating system's gaming capabilities. The achievement involved porting Nvidia drivers for Turing and Ampere GPU architectures, enabling users to run the game at high frame rates and resolutions, though support for newer GPU generations remains limited. This development is being viewed by the Haiku community as a major step toward making the OS viable for everyday use beyond its previous status as a curiosity.
