    I hate when projects don’t explain what they actually do. Explain what it does like you would to a 5 year old, “targeting personal computing, simple to use yet extremely powerful” comes off as buzzwords that just annoy me. That doesn’t explain why it’s useful.

      It’s useful mostly as a desktop operating system that’s easy to use and fast and doesn’t come with as much crap as Windows, Linux, macOS. Haiku feels more like your personal computer, not Microsoft’s or Apple’s computer.

      Today it doesn’t solve any needs besides nostalgia and curiosity. If you’re generally interested in desktop operating systems and user interface design, it’s worth a look.
