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.
I find it increasingly difficult to only use Firefox. Most of my coworkers are Chrome-only at this point. Anything that doesn’t at minimum do Firefox is a toy operating system. That said, I’m too unskilled to get something as complicated as Firefox to even build, let alone on a novel system, so maybe I have no right to gripe.
Does the latest Firefox even run on it? BeOS was gone by the time Firefox was just being (re)born.
Nope sadly, Falkon works and was what I used with my time on Haiku. I think they also have qutebrowser.
