      Haiku (operating system)
      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_(operating_system)

      Haiku, originally OpenBeOS, is a...

      … free and open-source operating system for personal computers. It is a community-driven continuation of BeOS and aims to be binary-compatible with it, but is largely a reimplementation with the exception of certain components like the Deskbar.[7] The Haiku project began in 2001, supported by the nonprofit Haiku Inc., and the operating system remains in beta.

        I think Haiku looks pretty cool, but this is kind of like comparing a car with all kinds of features to something with 3 out of 4 wheels, a cobbled in dining room chair, and no doors. The engine is also cool, but the transmission only has 2 gears.

        Haiku doesn’t have nearly the feature parity to replace Windows, and it took Linux the better part of 30 years to get there.
