When you think of alternatives to Linux, you most likely are thinking of BSD, MacOS, or even Hurd. One such OS that people don’t recommend nearly as often is HaikuOS. HaikuOS is an amazing OS that is based off of the old now defunct BeOS. I am going to go over the instillation, hardware support, desktop, and package availability for HaikuOS.
sorry to sound like an idiot…i did check Haiku’s website…is it Unix based? They don’t make it clear either way…they did say they had Libre Office…but…is it a unique OS? Is it POSIX? is it mostly POSIX? I’m all about trying new things, but I am also really comfortable with the traditional UNIX user space.

It’s unique, but POSIX-compliant.
from what I understand haiku and beOS were UNIX inspired, with some posix compliance, but it’s not a unix-like or unix-based. Kind of like plan9 was.
