Yet I still can not use ruby on it ... Sorry guys - Haiku is a great idea, but it needs to become a real operating system semi-advanced users can use daily. And it hasn't been at that since years. Linux works.

Which distro?

Linux is an OS kernel, not a full operating system.

I still need to know which distro to choose before I install it.

No need to do that with macOS or Windows, but Linux is always a problem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you scroll down, the poster got it running on real hardware.

Can we use that as daily driver? A clever developer making things work on his or her own hardware, is not quite on the same level as daily driver. (Granted, Linux would also have to run on M1 Macs. But I mean this more on the issue of same-hardware or comparable hardware level.)

I’m not sure anybody can use Haiku as a daily driver, regardless of platform.
