The important question becomes can you stack the window decoration "tabs" of different apps into a single stack of tabs like in BeOS? Demonstrated here (animated): https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/images/gui-images...

I used to run fluxbox in the early 2000s. I greatly miss tabbing any windows like that.

Presumably there's a lot more modern software written for Linux which you'd end up running through a compatibility layer from Haiku? The better option seems relative. I could be misremembering how Linux programmes are handled on Haiku though.
Maybe the fallacy is not exploring what a given OS is great at? We don't need to clone UNIX all over the place.
Perhaps it’s better to play it safe and just run DOS instead ;)

But Vitruvian is running its own graphics stack so no X11 or wayland applications will run afaict.
If you like BeOS, take a look at Haiku https://www.haiku-os.org/ , it's very nice and very usable system based directly on BeOS.
I've been a fan of Beos philosophy since the Personal Edition but never had the occasion to run it on steel as I was too poor to have two machines back in the days, and now I miss login/password prompt at boot on Haiku. But i'm following it closely and I hope i'll be able to install it on my X220 for a web/mail machine !
BeOS 5 could even be installed on a Windows FAT32 partition alongside Windows (it created a 50MB virtual disk).
At one point in time I had Windows 95, Windows 2000, Linux (possibly Slackware) and BeOS 5 all running on the same single PC.

And much better option, running the real deal, instead of some compatibility layer.
And things such as ruby don't work on it. Well, what shall I say? The "best" ideas get beaten when in practically already works very well - aka Linux. People need to compare to Linux and if there are failure points, they need to fix it. Haiku keeps on failing at core considerations. If you look at guides, they recommend to "run in qemu". Well, that is a fever dream. They need to focus on real hardware. And they need…
I'm not cool enough to run VitruvianOS either, but i'm glad it exists.
Why does the marketing read like slop ? "VitruvianOS is an alternative Linux desktop with a singular philosophy: the human at the center." https://v-os.dev/news/vitruvian-0.3.0-available/
