> I would imagine surely there’s a distro that is just as functional as what you’re imagining Haiku will be one day right? You can imagine it all you want, like most things that are pure fantasy. > The main issue I find with Linux is app support but that would be worse again with Haiku. There are other issues that I consider important. Things like how application management works, coherency of the platform, stability of ABIs, simplicity of the platform, non-bloatedness, lack of fashion-oriented design, etc.

This is a pretty uncharitable interpretation of my comment. I currently don’t even use Linux on desktop (though I have in the past). Like I said, Haiku is very cool, and I love the idea behind it and Serenity, but in terms of what is closer to a useable desktop, I think it is still a while off, and will always suffer from app support (if that isn’t as important to you as it is to me that’s fine). I do agree though that all of the Linux distros that are aimed at being minimalist aren’t simple (e.g Arch). Though there are some like Puppy Linux which I think have quite cool ideas around it. Please refrain from projecting whatever ideas you have around “Linux desktop people” onto me.
