Sadly I think I threw out my BeOS 5 install CD when I moved last year. For me it was a very neat tool but Linux/KDE was superior.

I knew this still existed as a port, but I didn't realize it seems to be actively maintained. Has anyone experience with the project to be able to confirm if they think that donations are spent judiciously? I already support a couple of other open-source projects and would love to kick a few bucks this way. In fact I just bought a couple of shirts from them, but that's benefitting me as much as (or more than) them, so it's a different calculus.

I do quite like Haiku. It's not quite ~~stable~~ usable enough for me yet, but I have no doubt that I'll be using it as a daily driver in the near future.

5-7-5 is pretty stable tbh.

I think I probably meant usable. Essentially, the last time I tried it, software like LibreOffice wouldn't run and I had a few minor issues with web browsing.

It's probably been fixed, come to think of it. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Do the command prompts only function in the form of haikus?

Yes! And the verbosity of error messages depends on the quality of the haiku!
