How's the HaikuOS today? Is it usable on modern system?

@GeekDaddy Grab a nightly build, install it in a virtual machine, and see for yourself.

@starbreaker and with that I know if it works with wifi, usb and other stuff in my laptop?

@GeekDaddy No, but the last time I told somebody to try running an operating system with which they weren't familiar on a spare machine they pestered me for six months expecting me to provide free tech support because I had told them to try it and see for themselves.

I don't get paid enough for that nonsense.

@starbreaker it's not that I'm not familiar with it, just didn't use it for few years :)

@GeekDaddy And I was supposed to know that?

Try reading their documentation and see if they have a hardware compatibility list.

@GeekDaddy Put image on a usb stick and boot it. Instead of starting the installer you should be able to start the desktop. That should be enough to test whether Haiku supports your hardware. Inserting a spare hdd would be an option too @starbreaker
