Regarding the comment pertaining to ReactOS, that is a project I fail to see the point of. It’s effectively a reproduction of Server 2003 in appearance, one of the all time shittiest servers I ever had to work with. Redox is more interesting in it’s future poetntiality.

Formerly for PPC,
x86 now.

Haiku sadness since,
Was PPC 603,
Now just for Intel.

BeOS resources,
Needed 8MB then,
Haiku 80x more.

I have just found out that there’s a preview build of real Firefox available, development progressing on a daily basis: https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/progress-on-porting-firefox/13493/142 So that’s very promising. I don’t know if there’s any possibility to get the patches upstreamed; that would be the next logical step. Having a supported, reliable, first class browser would allow Haiku to be a genuine daily driver for normal people.

Glad to hear about the firefox port. I need to use a CMS daily and the last time I tried with Haiku, WebPositive just couldn’t manage it. I’ll look again.

There are plenty of apps available, ported and native, for example, LibreOffice, Calligra Suite.
It unfortunately does not run on the Raspberry Pi, but I have personally used on a 667Mhz P3 with 256MB of RAM.

Both LibreOffice and Calligra are available (there may be a few others).
