Haiku has gazillions of modern software and got NVIDIA drivers recently. Things are looking pretty bright for Haiku.

I like Haiku tech... to not too fond of the window chrome amd ux style myself... It's like every window has a pan-handle.

With Haiku I like that I can use the computer without having to resort to dark mode like the other operating systems. The other systems are just too bright, while Haiku interface is warm and on-point.

Legacy of BeOS.

I get that... I didn't like it in BeOS either... It just feels off, the more time spent on more recent alternatives (Windows, Mac, Linux+Cosmic/Gnome/Kde...). Similarly, trying to use OS/2's desktop also feels more and more alien as the years pass.

I mean, I get trying something different and/or sticking to a legacy, but there's also being usable to today's users.
