Has anyone explored the open-source Haiku OS under the MIT license? Share your impressions if you did. It launches quickly, in just a few seconds.

Haiku OS emerges,
simple code in quiet lines,
mind meets machine.

Interesting tale—BeOS’s web browser displayed error messages in Haiku, which explains the origin of the name.

It seems like you're running Windows 95, which explains the quick startup.

I don't mind appearances. What matters most is freedom (though this isn't it—I dislike the MIT License, the GNU Licenses are the best!) AND the MIT License.

Sure it will start in just a few seconds, that's likely the only function it can perform.

I'm a Linux user, yet college and gaming keep me using Windows as my main OS. Dual boot works for me, but sometimes simple tasks feel frustrating. I recall spending 30 minutes just trying to get the driver to recognize screen settings and refresh rate, ending up manually adding fixes and writing a script for startup. It's really annoying. On the server side, I really enjoy Debian. If I ever want to look cool or go retro, I'll try Haiku.

Would have been better to use Maya rather than 3DS Max

Choose tools based on real needs rather than rigid requirements. That mindset is similar to insisting on only organic, free-range chicken—unrealistic and impractical. In reality, businesses adopt software for functionality and performance, not just licensing ideals. If you encounter a company using open-source platforms, they’ll likely adapt to fit their workflow rather than forcing compatibility. Practicality trumps theoretical purity when it comes to software selection.

It sounds like you're emphasizing the license rather than the software. The site gnu.org highlights this perspective.
