Okay round 2- do you know of any x86_64 operating systems for desktops, laptops, etc, that aren’t;

Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, ReactOS, Haiku, SerenityOS, Debian-Hurd, and Redox?

I’d like to expand my knowledge even further, please inform me if you know, or if I've missed anything!

I'm going to be spending some more time with the #BSD , #ReactOS , and #Haiku #operatingsystems - this week. They've always been seen as the underdogs compared to #Windows , #macOS , and #Linux - from what I can tell, which is sad.

In my opinion, BSD is the closest to "making it" as a daily driver operating system, for me, and maybe for quite a few people, I like the #GhostBSD distro the best, it's what I've been using the most so far.

I do very much value the goals of ReactOS, but I don't believe it's anywhere near "there" yet when it comes to its stability, featureset, and compatibility, but I do hope that one day it will get there, if it gains enough traction with developers and donations/funding.

Haiku is really promising with its recent developments, but still does need more work. It's quite stable, but I have had some issues with it, on some hardware. It has seen a lot of work recently, from what I can tell, and I do hope it goes places more in the future.

If I had to rank them from best most-stable daily-driver, down to worst-not-yet-viable, I'd have to say BSD wins, with Haiku second, and ReactOS last.

They're very good promising operating systems, and I don't see them talked about anywhere near as much as I wish I did, perhaps you should try them out in a #VM #virtualmachine ..? Would be an interesting way to spend an afternoon, if you're nerdy like me~

Just wanted to try out #reactos, found out that there's no officially supported way to install via a usb drive - only CDs or virtual machines. States it's been broken for years already. Way to go.
