   No, it's not. Linux is still usable and you don't have to give the Linux Foundation any money. I think there would be enough people to maintain a stable fork if worse comes to worst.

   None of the other options (BSD, illumos, etc) can realistically run on anything other than the exact old ThinkPad model that the contributors use.

     @PurpCat @nach I want an actual desktop operating system, not some server or mainframe OS pretending to be one. Haiku seems like the perfect choice for me, but it needs more supported hardware and software for me to use it as a daily driver.

     @xianc78 @nach illumos is more "if it's a server it works if it's a desktop good luck"

     @PurpCat @nach Well, Haiku is a clone of BeOS, and I don't think BeOS was ever used in servers. The only thing remotely server related I know of in Haiku is the PoorMan webserver, and it's a really basic webserver at that.

     @xianc78 @nach illumos only ended that way because nobody worked on the desktop
     It was a competent desktop os in the Solaris/OpenSolaris era
