It is possible that musl based distros such as Alpine, could somehow compete for having a lot smaller code footprint to execute, but "normal" glibc ones would hardly match Haiku's speed. That doesn't necessarily make Linux inferior; it's just the price to pay for decades of development from thousands of developers and being portable to a huge number of platforms. The upside is we (Linux users) have a lot more software and supported hardware than Haiku, as of today.
