    I mean it’s neat. And it’s oriented towards desktop use more so than any other OS I have ever used.

    Personally I am very excited to finally see haiku ver 1 soon. For an old laptop it is very VERY lightweight and gets most work related tasks you could want done.

    It’s neat

      I don’t get that phrase. Isn’t windows mostly desktop use? How is this more desktop oriented?

      Other than lightweight what do you find appealing about it?

      I like with Linux that what I learn on my servers and desktops transfers.

        Being lightweight is valuable in my opinion, it’s also a really nice architecture without all the baggage that Linux has. I find it really appealing to have lean software that’s optimized for a particular use case. It’s also POSIX compliant so a lot Linux skills are transferable, and software from Linux is fairly easy to port over. The fact that Firefox got ported shows that it’s doable even with complex GUI apps.
