Haiku looked amazing and beautiful in 2009 when I first learned about it. Today it looks dated like Windows 95.
Buttons look like buttons. Scroll bars are thick and clear. Draggable objects are obvious.
It's a huge shame that we've gone only backwards since then, IMHO.
Loved BeOS, and love HaikuOS. But a "daily driver" it is most certainly not. Don't be fooled.
I'm not saying all this to crap on the project; is there actually an advantage to using Haiku in 2024 over, say, Linux?

I remember hearing about Haiku about a decade ago, and I played with it in a virtual machine, and it seemed neat, but I'm not 100% sure why it buys you over anything else. This could just have been the virtual machine, but it didn't feel any faster than any other OS really, and the UI was fine, but kind of unremarkable to me.

An os that nobody is writing zero day exploits for ?

I could not disagree more about Windows 95 looking "dated". It's one the clearest, simplest, and easiest to parse UIs I've ever seen. Buttons look like buttons. Scroll bars are thick and clear. Draggable objects are obvious. It's a huge shame that we've gone only backwards since then, IMHO.
Do TV remotes even have physical buttons any more?
