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.

but unless you can compile software for it

Well you can

Just read about it, gcc8 is compatible so in theory you can port a lot of software to haiku

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
