I wonder how the whole experience will be. Love it or hate it, Haiku is a single user OS and you don't have to keep entering your password for every tiny change. Puppy Linux is the only Linux I know that's like that.

@darkghost I've heard of puppy linux. Is it any good as a daily driver on anything other than older or lower spec machines?

Sounds like an interesting project. I'll have to spin up a VM.

@darkghost, after years on Linux, I definitely feel uncomfortable without a multi-user environment, especially without root. I pretty much like Haiku, but it’s an OS that comes with VPN support yet lacks a firewall. As a Yggdrasil user, I have to run a separate router with Linux for security purposes.

It definitely dates back to the days of single user everybody is root no firewall but no services.

Ya, reading about it. Don't know this DE, but screensots looks nicely.

Once I can simply install this desktop environment, I will immediately drop GNOME - I hate it after years of its UI experiments on me, including other alternatives leading by smartphone-addicted kids.
