Haiku is the underdog that just keeps on moving forwards. Every release it gets just a little more complete.
There is a vital lesson in Haiku OS. If you benchmark anything on it, it isn't the fastest thing around. Compiling code is about 40% slower than Linux for instance (which is still impressive). But the user experience is absolutely divine. It is the benchmark for responsive UI and it should be a mark of shame on Apple, Microsoft and many Linux desktops that they are being out done by such a small team.
"V\OS is a Linux-based operating system inspired by BeOS. It brings the simplicity and responsiveness of a classic desktop to modern hardware: custom kernel modules and a BeOS/Haiku API compatibility layer that runs on Linux with minimal to no source changes."
Bravo! here is to the next 25 years!

Still the most beautiful OS I've ever seen honestly. I wish there was desktop interface for Linux that looked like it and worked like it.

Can you give me an example of something in Haiku that is a better experience than in MacOS?
memory usage, extremely snappy gui,
Happy birthday, I still have that original BeOS CD somewhere.
