A rare Haiku post (quokk.au)

It's been a while since I dusted off Haiku and gave it a shot at customization. After poking and prodding a bit, I am rather pleased with this one -

Using an image from the Unsplash package. Replicants on the desktop are the Activity Monitor meters, Weather (from the package repository) and WordClock (from the package repository). Within the Deskbar, there is WebWatch.

UI font is Montserrat, installed globally outside of packages.

I know it's not as busy as some screenshots, but I figured with the Replicants on the desktop, it's not as bare, as they are technically programs without borders.

Haiku would be great as a alternative OS for simple usage if there was an actual browser (and office) available.

The lack of keybinds to manipulate window postions also hurts acceptance.

Waterfox and Librewolf are in the HaikuDepot. As for Office Suites, I think I did see LibreOffice there as well.

If I'm not mistaken, AbiWord would be pretty good on Haiku, but from a light search, KOffice might also be good, as long as you have the proper GUI mapping layers installed.
