It is lovely to use once you learn the keyboard shortcuts

My main gripes for now:

- no full disk encryption which means it can only really be used as a kiosk computer and not contain anything sensitive.

- I haven't been able to play anything reliably from netflix or hbomax. either with otterbrowser or epiphany/Gnome Web. Probably Widevine can't be run on those and even tweaking user agents won't help.

Right now it is relegated as a kiosk computer for the kitchen to follow recipes and play music on an old laptop when I am cooking.

Isn't the netflix problem mainly due to DRM-stuff? Not sure how they could fix that.

Agreed on the disk encryption. Other than that Haiku is indeed getting dangerously close to being feasible as a daily driver.

For work Docker support would be nice-to-have but one can always set up a Linux VM instead. Docker performance on Windows and Mac is crap anyway.

Why is that dangerous?

[cardanome]

It's not. I used in place of "very close". It's a stylistic thing, though maybe misplaced here.

That’s somewhat ironic because that’s basically what Be pivoted to shortly before their demise. AFAIK the Sony eVilla running BeIA was the last release from Be. They were about 15 years too early with the concept.

If you mean Alt vs. Ctrl, you can swap to Ctrl-based keyboard shortcuts by clicking the button in the "Keymap" application. But, the Quick Tour tells you this, there's a reason we encourage users to take it :) https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/welcome/en/quicktour.html#shor...

I mean in general. Resistance to change is a natural thing.

Same applies from going from Windows to Mac, Gnome to KDE Plasma and vice-versa.
