So... promote a martyrdom complex within the Armed Forces.

I need to try the Hut's pie again soon. Might be a step up from the Godfather's experience.

Finding my gender identity, seeing how the people I associated with treated others and finding I was in a very dangerous cult, the internet exposing me to other people and their plights, reading Kropotkin.

How's the Vegas Loop handling traffic again?

Oh, right... it's a taxi service through a tube underground between the airport and the convention center... not very usable by all.

It does have a decent complement of applications in the package depot - a few Firefox clones, LibreOffice, VLC, QMPlay2, a handful of trackers, some emulators and a few source ports to name a few.

Wine has been ported over as well, but you might need to compile it by hand. Not much of an issue though. That might be your in on getting commercial games running, if you game.

Packages are handled in a unique way, mounting into the filesystem, sort of like an AppImage, but mount-on-install instead of mount-on-run.

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

I love Haiku. If I wasn't a Steam user, it'd be my daily driver.

Not Linux. It's Haiku, a POSIX-Compatible clone of BeOS, a Media first operating system from the 90s, designed to be friendly and powerful.

I have not yet tried. I'll give it a go later.

Update: I was unable to enable IPv6 in the settings. I'm sure there's a way, but for now, I'm not seeing it. I'll have to poke around with Virtualbox at a later date to see if I can make some changes or something.

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.

Reminds me of the FreeBSD console typeface.

Rieko Kodama was one of Sega's best.

I've been describing my experience as "transmasc transfemme". Being bigender is weird and beautiful.
