    Reading through the comments on the video, the only “used to be” part the video creator is talking about is that it is a alien hobby OS that hardly anyone uses or knows about. Don’t take that as a negative but he is just talking about the feels. Other than that technically their isn’t a lot in common with Linux from the past.

      Maybe desktop use. But as a server OS, Linux became very popular after apache was released.

      Haiku is hardly an “alien hobby OS” anymore. There are sooo many videos on YouTube about it being this amazing Linux alternative…
