Is anyone here daily driving an obscure OS like HaikuOS, ReactOS, MorphOS, etc? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

ArcaOS, KolibriOS, AROS, FreeDOS, Plan 9, TempleOS, or even just an older version of Windows or Linux.

I run the unstable HaikuOS build in a HyperV VM and keep updating it every week or two. Waiting on compatibility for hardware and just being able to use a web browser without issues. The epiphany port is decent but it’s still lacking. Things seem pretty active and really hope it’s more usable eventually. If done right, it could become the desktop OS alternative the world needs. Seems great design decisions were made early that should help it do well once the thousand paper cuts are reduced a bit.
