    The Haiku website. (Pull requests are accepted; please file issues at https://dev.haiku-os.org). (by haiku)

    HaikuOS https://www.haiku-os.org/ is a free and open source rewrite of BeOS using APIs it can run BeOS code and has had a lot of apps portered to it. It needs less memory than Linux and is more like ReactOS https://reactos.org/ when they add in the WINE porting to run WIN32 and WIN64 apps.

    BETA3 is stable enough to use a web browser and email program to get things done. It can be installed on old retro legacy PCs to make better use of them.

    Run it in a virtual machine first.
