> 3 days ago, I installed Haiku on bare metal: an old PC from ~2004. I was not aware that a new version was planned at that time, but the upgrade was completely smooth.

If there is one thing to say about Haiku, their slow and steady approach has resulted in a remarkably solid Kernel and base system. It is extremely light and has a well-built and consistent environment. I've always hoped more engineers would hop on the bandwagon to accelerate development, but what the team has achieved is notable in comparison to other alternative/"hobby" OSes.
