HaikuOS, simply FANTASTIC! Out of curiosity are you using it as a daily driver? I've tried early beta (2010 or so) and it was super fast but not enough to use it every day...

Just tested in VM. Still in beta, as stated on their site. Some apps are constantly crashing. It's definitely not ready for daily use, unfortunately

Nah, I like window management in Haiku too much. I will give it a try on real hardware."

I installed Haiku on this Laptop from 1999 once since it was actually the only non-windows OS I could get to run for some reason. Video driver was bugged tho so the screen was visually offset by ~100 pixels which made it too hard to use. Otherwise though it ran at a bearable normal speed which is a huge feat for the something like 500MHz processor and 500MB/1GB of RAM (I forget the exact specs).
