What a depressing thing to read on _hacker_ news of all places You might want to read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture
You should get out more...
Your link is not, in any way, a response to my comment.

The platform itself. Like, can it run Firefox? Can I actually do normal stuff in the browser like watch a YouTube video or join a Zoom call? Can I run VSCode? Can I run Docker?
It is not a Linux distro. It is not a Linux at all; it is a completely different, independent OS. It is not a Unix at all: it's an independent ground-up C++ OS that implements a lot of POSIX-type APIs to make it easier to port Unix apps. Docker is literally a Linux native tool that is for Linux only. The only way Docker works on anything that isn't Linux is by running a Linux VM, containing Alpine. It is not a Linux…
Sorry but this is demonstrably false. Not only is Alpine not a requirement in the slightest, Windows Server's own containers work as a backend for Docker just fine.

Performance, memory efficiency, some security nits (but compared to Leenucks, it's not that bad), bug fix cadence (there's a bug I filed against NeXTStep 2.2 in 1993 that was finally fixed in 2015), support (they keep changing their mind whether the command line tools are supported.)
Is there a resilient market for people using NeXTStep in the 21st century?
How usable is Haiku OS in practice?
There are not that many native applications. But there are a number of GTK and Qt apps that have been ported (like GIMP).
It depends what you need from your OS.

Not sure. I thought the FuriPhone's advantage was that they were making it in conjunction with the ODM so you didn't have to use halium to call into Android. But a quick google search tells me I'm mistaken. Maybe I was thinking of the FairPhone? I would consider the PinePhone, but my experience with it left me cold. And they EoL'd the Pro and the original PinePhone is fairly anemic by modern standards. I'm not sure i…
How about Librem 5 then? All its drivers are free, too.
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.
