As Haiku is getting more stable and can be more broadly used as a consumer OS, I thought it would be good to start a thread in the feedback category where all of you can share what you are using your system for.
Is it your development box? Just for web browsing and youtube? Do you use it as a production system?
I’m a man of simple needs. I browse with WebPositive, code with Genio, do simple image editing in Wonderbrush and ArtPaint and do office stuff in LibreOffice. Probably use a dozen smaller tools and scripts etc. Haiku is my main OS and I use it 99% of the time.
I’ve been daily driving it like a madman i’ve also been porting stuff to it but it’s mostly simple applications written in C because unfortunately i suffer from a bad case of the chicken brain and I mean, like stuff that’s really easy to port like, you only have to make a few tweaks to the make file, and then you’re pretty much good to go
I’m very very new to Haiku. My work computer is Apple where I’m stuck for now as I’ve stupidly grown a dependence on Ableton Live. But I think my new Haiku-powered netbook is so lovely and peaceful, I’m going to get back into writing there. I’m kind of into solarpunk, and writing it on a laptop was junk but now given a new lease of life with Haiku feels appropriate. And perhaps over time, I’ll get good enough with Haiku that I can bring my music production work over to the Good Side too. Running Haiku on my M3 Apple laptop might be a tall order today? But who knows a few years down the line 
I’m mostly using it for development of Haiku applications and contributing to Haiku itself using the great Genio IDE.
Besides that,also browsing the web sometimes,which is a lot more useful since the LibreWolf browser is finally available.
Still waiting for a few drivers so that I can use it on one of my small portable laptops for the “surfing and chatting a bit while watching tv” use-case.
I haven’t used my computers a lot in the past months,have mostly been outside enjoying the great weather and the numerous live events,but since summer is coming to an end,that may change again soon.
I guess I could realistically do anything I need on Haiku today,with most of the stuff being websites/webapps running in LibreWolf anyway.
I mainly use it in a virtual machine to port and test my own apps, but also to run a few that are kept current in the Haiku repos. That spares me from having to build them from source in Debian. Would love to have the energy for more though.
Mainly to see how it is developing…
I do like how easy & fast it is to install; but it still lacks a lot of drivers, so is only usable on a couple of my machines right now.
Keeping an eye on ARM development, especially for Raspberry Pi boards.
As Haiku ARM64 development goes right now - especially regarding Apple HW - .. you may install a Haiku R1/beta7 ARM64 release on the Apple M3 laptop too ;- ))
